    Given that I am elderly with a known wrist fracture, I was so grateful to be appointed with a hand surgeon with Dr. Riel's qualifications. I truly felt a part of the decision-making that occurred, and Dr. Riel very patiently answered my questions then proceeded to answer some I didn't know I had.
