Patient Stories: O'Lenick Family

Ideally, we all have time to research medical options and opinions. But sometimes accidents happen and decisions have to be made quickly.

When 6-year-old Pierce O'Lenick shattered his arm on the playground, his mother wasn't sure where to go. Fortunately, the mothers of Pierce's playmates all had the same recommendation -- Jewett Orthopaedic Clinic.
