Dr. Michaeli feels that high-quality care should be accessible to everyone. If you or a loved one has suffered a severe traumatic injury, we implore you to call us. This includes an amputated or mangled limb, even in cases where the patient was told it’s not salvageable. These are often time-critical so inform the operator of the nature of the situation so that you may be transferred through. If Dr. Michaeli is available and believes there is a chance for limb salvage he will make all efforts to coordinate care to make that possible.
