    Jerry Lambert, 57, of Dunwoody, Georgia, is a regular competitor in triathlons across the southeast.  Not much holds him back from his active lifestyle, thanks to the care of Resurgens’ physicians and overseeing injuries over the years.  Even after recovering from a broken clavicle, Lambert resumed competing in triathlons just months after surgery.  During a morning bike ride in the spring of 2014, on a trail near Amelia Island, Florida, Lambert was in a serious biking accident involving a collision with another biker on the trail.  After x-rays taken at the local hospital revealed a severe fracture of his clavicle, doctors urged Lambert to see a specialist...

    Cyclist Bobby Green "back to doing everything" he hoped to do after multiple surgeries

    Bobby Green may have preferred a visit from Santa this past Christmas instead of a visit to the ER, but he did get a great gift nonetheless — a surgically repaired clavicle from Resurgens Orthopaedics surgeon Dr. Evander Fogle and a return to his bike.  After recovering from a broken elbow sustained in November 2012, Green, an avid road cyclist, was itching to get back on his bike and get out on the Silver Comet Trail. Mission accomplished, and then mission derailed. On his first day back in the saddle, he had a major accident and broke his clavicle. It was the Saturday before Christmas, and the Resurgens offices were closed, but they were able to get an... Continue Reading

    Physical Therapy Allowed Resurgens Orthopaedics Patient To Postpone and Perhaps Avoid Rotator Cuff Surgery

    Lisa Maggart Wins Third Place in ‘What Does Resurgenize Mean to You' Contest Lisa Maggart of Norcross had just started a new job when she woke up one morning unable to lift her right arm more than three inches from her side. In excruciating pain, she went to an orthopaedist who recommended surgery immediately.  Knowing that recovery time after rotator cuff surgery would cause her to lose her job, she sought a second opinion from Dr. Evander Fogle at Resurgens Orthopaedics.  Maggart submitted her story to Resurgens' recent “What Does Resurgenize Mean To You” contest and was recognized as a winner by Scott Slade on Atlanta's...

Resurgens Orthopaedics Varied

I have been going to Dr. Fogle for about 5 years now. I finally had my shoulder surgery it went perfect. Very few doctors I trust like I do Dr Fogel. I would recommend him to any and all that are in the market for an incredible doctor. His staff is courteous knowledgeable and will go out of their way for you, that is very hard to find these days.

Resurgens Orthopaedics Varied

I would recommend Dr Fogle to anyone. He repaired my rotator cuff. The MRI indicated an 80% tear, the actual surgery reveal a 100% tear. Dr. Fogel said it was one of the worst he had seen. Of course I had heard horror stories about this surgery and expected a difficult recovery. To my great surprise the first day of PT began with range of motion at 176 out of 180 degrees. The recovery and PT was quite easy. I attribute that to Dr Fogel's great skill and dedication. Thank you Dr. Fogel!!
