At OrthoDIRECT, our goal is to provide prompt, high-quality orthopedic care when you need it most. While we do our best to see every patient as quickly as possible, there may be times when we reach capacity. During these busy periods, wait times may be longer than usual, and we may need to prioritize patients based on the urgency of their condition. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to care for everyone as efficiently and safely as possible.

Dear patients,
It is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement from orthopedic practice, effective Tuesday, December 31, 2024. After 40 years dedicated to the field of orthopedics, it is time to embark on the next chapter of my life.
Reflecting on my career, I feel a sense of accomplishment and gratitude. I have had the privilege of working with exceptional colleagues, staff, and patients. Together, we have navigated countless challenges and celebrated numerous successes. This collaboration has been invaluable and rewarding and has ensured that patients receive the highest quality of care.
Most importantly, I would like to express my appreciation to the many patients who have entrusted me with their care. It has been an honor to care for you, to witness your resilience, and to be a part of your journey to recovery.
As I transition into retirement, I am confident that the University Orthopedics team will provide exceptional care to our community. To request a copy of your medical records or to schedule an appointment with one of my esteemed colleagues—Dr. Braidy Shambaugh, Dr. Michael C. Mariorenzi, Dr. Nathalia Doobay, Dr. Bassel Diebo, or Dr. Michael Belanger—please call (401) 457-1500.
While I will miss the daily interactions and the fulfilling work, I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. Please accept my very best wishes for continued health and happiness in the years ahead.
Warmest regards,
