Patient Testimonials

Michelle F.

I rolled my ATV when I was up north and broke my collar bone. The entire thing was so emotional, scary, and not close to home! Dr. Honstad performed the surgery to repair my comminuted fracture within days of the accident. It has healed properly and I am back to my regular hobbies of gardening, and all seasons of outdoor activities! I have no pain and complete movement of my shoulder/arm in any way. Thank you Dr. Honstad!
