This was an emergency surgery from my daughter. I was in a local orthopedic office Wednesday morning for a follow up and by 2pm Friday my daughter was in surgery. Considering there was no time for an in person visit with the doctor I was very happy he made time to speak with us in a video visit no doubt after a long day of surgery. We appreciated that to at least ease our concerns.

I absolutely love Dr Sponseller. He took great care of my daughter when she was a baby. I wanted to come back and see him when she was having a similar issue almost 12 years later. He is brilliant and I trust him. Unfortunately after 12 years, he has aged a bit and seems a bit tired. He struggled to keep his eyes open for the visit causing me to be a bit concerned. Otherwise, he is great. Not sure if he was just having a bad day but hoping this isnt a regular occurrence.
