“What attracted me to orthopedics is the fact that it combines both the science and the art of medicine. The ability to alter form to improve function requires skill, attention to detail and an appreciation of what an elegant and intricate structure the human body is. When you are responsible for trying to help a patient return to their normal lifestyle, it is very important that they receive nothing less than complete honesty.” – Stephen Ritter, MD
