The University of South Alabama Health System recently featured Dr. Richard Talbott, dean of the Pat Capps Covey College of Allied Health Professionals at USA, as part of its patient testimonial series.
According to Dr. Frederick Meyer, professor and chair of orthopaedics at USA, Dr. Talbott’s testimonial had a good response, with four or five patients coming to him specifically mentioning the procedure featured in the ad. “They did not want surgery, but instead wanted the same procedure Dr. Talbott had in order to avoid surgery,” Dr. Meyer said.
Dr. Talbott, an avid golfer, suffered from Dupuytren’s contracture, a medical condition where the movement of your fingers is severely limited. With a new procedure offered by Dr. Meyer at USA, Dr. Talbott was treated with the non-surgical therapy right in the doctor’s office. Now, he has returned to the golf course.
