My son Anthony (16) fractured the Scaphoid in his right hand during Nov. 2010. We were referred to Dr. Chalkin (Orthopedic Center Tulsa, OK) which when he reviewed Anthony’s MRI we were told Anthony needed surgery and physical therapy would follow. The Scaphoid fracture kept the bone from receiving blood; the bone was dying it was almost black. The graft needed a blood cell in order to give blood supply back to the bone. Dr. Chalkin said he would use Anthony’s bone graft if possible before he resorted to cadaver bone. During surgery instead of using cadaver bone Dr. Chalkin was able to take a bone graft from Anthony’s wrist and place it in the Scaphoid fracture. Will it work? The waiting begins. Anthony had four pins and several stitches. His casts were changed four different times from the time of surgery November 2010 through March 2011. During the March visit Anthony’s cast came off and the scar looked a lot better than I expected, the x-ray came back giving a positive report; the bone was now receiving blood and to top it off the surgery went so well Anthony does not need physical therapy just a lot of tender loving care like Dr. Chalkin gave him. If something like this ever happens again I hope that Dr. Chalkin is here to take care of us. Thank you Dr. Chalkin!!”

I have been a patient of Dr. Mittal’s for years. He has replaced both knees and my right hip. As fate would have it, my left hip is also needing to be replaced; the odds weren’t in my favor. However my current insurance wanted me to choose an orthopaedic surgeon in their network. My experience with Dr. Mittal has been incredible so I decided I wanted to stick with him and just change insurance when my policy ran out. My problem was the pain associated with my bad left hip kept increasing. Dr. Mittal had begun using Stem Cell Therapy injections for people with mild arthritis or who weren’t ready for surgery. Even though I need a hip replacement we decided to give it a shot. I had a stem cell injection a few months ago and can’t believe the change in my day to day life. I’ve been able to continue working and as long as I’m careful, I’m carrying on with most of my day to day activities. I would definitely recommend Stem Cell therapy with Dr. Mittal.”
