Dr. Swords was amazing! And a kind man, too. He put my metatarsal back together from pieces like nothing ever happened. My recovery was smooth, no complications, I can function perfectly well. I work on my feet I was very concerned about the future of my foot. From what I hear from friends after orthopedic surgeries, no all surgeons are equal. I was lucky to have an excellent one.
