Although mobility differs from case to case, the average C5 quadriplegic has very limited use of their arms, which makes Boyd’s athletic track record truly exceptional.  Boyd said finding an athletic outlet after his accident was a natural progression for him. “I was an extremely active kid,” says Boyd. “So it didn’t take long for me to make my way into wheelchair...

Resurgens Orthopaedics Varied

Dr. Khan, he is the most amazing doctor i have ever met because he has given me a second life to live by doing my ankle surgery and motivated me to stand on my feet again.

Resurgens Orthopaedics Varied

I am very pleased with the services that I received from Dr. Khan. He has a comforting and reassuring bedside manner. An occupational injury caused me severe pain for months and a questionable return to work. With his assistance I'm improving and on the right path. Thanks Dr. Khan!
