un-treated for an ACL tear by another doctor. Dr.

After years of disappointment by other doctors
and being essentially fully disabled, Ms. Margaret

active, living life again, and tell the world that
this Stimula- tor and Dr. Brown are the best things
that ever happened to me."
Mr. Lawrence Henry, an Occupational Therapist,
states "life came to a halt. I could no longer

Hip technique of the 'Birmingham Hip' I was working
full time and playing golf. He saved my career.
Thank you Dr. Alan."
The vast majority of physicians in the community
trust Coastal for their personal healthcare, John

"The doctors at Coastal Orthopedics & Pain
Management have given my wife, Sharon, and I excellent
and timely care over the last several years. Then

we can continue to enjoy a full life."
