“Twenty years ago I had a ski accident in Telluride, CO and fractured my ankle. Dr. Gerken operated on my ankle which included inserting a titanium plate. My recovery was total and 20 years later I still ski, snowshoe, hike and golf. He’s an amazing surgeon and I give him total credit for my ability to stay active and, as a result, stay healthy.”
