🚨 3 Things I’d NEVER Do After Running a Level 1 Trauma Center 🚫

As a former Chief of Orthopedics at a Level 1 trauma center, I’ve seen everything — and there are 3 things I will absolutely never do:

1️⃣ Ride a motorcycle 🏍️
2️⃣ Drive without a seatbelt 🚗
3️⃣ Skydive 🪂

Trust me, it’s not about fear — it’s about what I’ve seen go wrong. 😬

Some injuries you never forget.

🎥 The hardest part of being an orthopedic surgeon?

Saying NO.

It’s not the surgeries. Not the long hours.

It’s looking a patient in the eye and telling them surgery isn’t the right answer — even when they’re in pain.

🎓 Same School. Same Mission. Two Surgeons. One Standard of Excellence. 🩺

Both Dr. Lepkowsky and Dr. Dai started their medical journeys at Stony Brook University School of Medicine, where they also completed their orthopedic surgery residencies.

Their years of training gave them a strong foundation in patient care, surgical technique, and a deep understanding of musculoskeletal health — skills they now bring to the communities they serve with Total Orthopedics & Sports Medicine.

Today, they’re focused on helping patients move better, feel better, and get back to doing what they love — whether it’s recovering from injury or managing chronic joint pain.

We at Total Orthopedics deeply mourn the loss of Dr Carlos Montero. Dr Montero was always a gentleman and a great hand surgeon. Beyond this, he was a true lover of life. He was a very skilled fisherman and travelled the world enjoying his favorite past time. He also loved food and grew many of his own vegetables in his garden.

My first experience with Dr Montero was as a resident at Winthrop in the mid 1990’s. Having done many cases with him while on call he was always kind, appreciative, and knowledgeable. I was very happy to hear from him years later when we hooked up for him to join Total Orthopedics. He has made many connections with our physicians and staff during his time with us, and he will be severely missed.

Carlos is survived by his wife Evelyn and stepson Steven.
