Message from Pres. Mark


Hi Everyone,

Now that the summer season is over I hope you are transitioning well into cooler days ahead. If only the school buses where not on the road at rush hour….oh well, got to get our kids to school safely!

We did not meet last week so there is no news there. Hope your 3 day weekend was relaxing!

This Friday, my son in-law Izzy, who is an amazing man and an Orthopedic Surgeon, will be our guest speaker. I hope you all can come to hear what he has to share, as I am quite sure it will be helpful and informative. It’s a great time to invite quests, especially those who may want to get updated on current orthopedic practices. I copied a bit of his bio from the group he works with and pasted it below.

Bio:
Dr. Dizdarevic (Izzy) 
and his dedicated team focus on minimally invasive hip and knee replacement as well as revision hip and knee replacement. Less invasive surgery such as the anterior hip approach, partial knee replacement, and outpatient same day surgery coupled with innovative pain management allows patients to achieve earlier return to function. By preserving the structure and function of the muscles, ligaments, and tendons, patients experience a more natural feeling joint replacement and avoid restrictions following surgery.
His orthopedic training took place in NYC at Mount Sinai Roosevelt Hospital Center with subspecialty focus at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Columbia Presbyterian Department of Bioengineering, CV Starr Hand Institute, as well as the A.I. Dupont Institute for Children. During this time, he published numerous scientific articles focusing on the treatment of musculoskeletal health. He was also awarded the Gold Humanism and Excellence in Resident Teaching Award by the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons and acted as Chief resident during his final year.
He also chose to spend an extra year to complete fellowship training in hip and knee replacement at the prestigious Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois where he learned alongside the country's foremost authorities on revision hip and knee replacement and minimally invasive surgery.

See you Friday!
