As some of you were aware I have been involved in a court case with Sanford that wrapped up today. Many of you have checked in with us to see how things are going. We are thankful that the jury of 12 sided with us. I’ll end with saying this:

I leave this courtroom today with my head held high. This case was never about the money. It was about the fact that Sanford tried to trick my patients into staying at Sanford, to retain them by using deceptive practices. This is a case of David versus Goliath. I couldn’t sit back and let them bully me. I had to stand up for what I knew to be right.

In the end, the departing physician letter policy has changed at Sanford. No longer will letters be sent out written in the first person which are not authored or authorized or signed by the doctor. This change is huge for not only me and my patients but for this whole community. And for that I will sleep better at night, knowing that I had a part in making that happen.

I am grateful for the jury and the time and careful consideration they devoted to my case. I’m grateful that I am able to continue to see my patients, and I am grateful for all of their support over the last two-and-a-half years. I wouldn’t have got this far without my outstanding legal team. I also want to thank my family for their unwavering support during the past 975 days.

We often get asked if you have had an MRI if you need an Xray as well? Here is an explanation of why we often want you to have both. We always like for the Xray to be taken within the last year.

We have a long overdue post. January of this year Jov joined our team at the front desk and boy did we hit the jackpot! Not only is Jov all knowing on things like insurance and prior authorizations, she takes great care of our patients. We’re thrilled to have her at the front desk along with Julie to answer all your questions and get you checked in. Welcome to the team Jov!

Happy Nurses Week to all the nurses out there. We might be a little biased but we think we have the best of the best! Amy, thank you for everything you do. Clinic wouldn’t run as smoothly without you and we definitely wouldn’t have as much fun!

We are so excited to be able to offer a new treatment to help us provide the best treatment for our patients. Iovera helps us with pain control with a non-narcotic method. We are administering Iovera prior to total knee replacements to help you with your recovery. Non-surgical candidates can also come in to discuss your options and see if Iovera can help provide you some relief and improve your quality of life. Check out this video Alex put together to help explain this amazing new treatment option. Give us a call to schedule an appointment to see if Iovera is right for you!

As this year comes to a close we are so excited for what’s to come for OrthoDakota in 2024. On Tuesday we will open the doors to our new clinic. We’ve been working hard putting all of the finishing touches on it and can’t wait to serve all of our patients at our new location 350 23rd Ave E West Fargo, ND 58078.

As we look back on this past year we have to thank all of our patients for trusting us with their care. You have helped us make OrthoDakota a success. It means the world to us when new patient referral comes from our current patients. When you send your friends and family to us that’s the ultimate compliment.

Happy New Year to you all!
