I was in a serious car accident back in 1995. I was in a coma at the time Dr. Hillyard helped make the decision to repair my pelvis, femur even though other doctors on my trauma care team didn't think he should bother doing it. He insisted in the hope that I would come out of a coma and walk again someday. My prognosis was very poor, but thanks to him I live a relatively normal life now. I have had several doctors tell me how impressed they were with the 10 hour surgery that was done and the x rays prove it. I was able to le... read more

I was lucky that Dr. HILLYARD came by my emergency room after he finished with a surgery in the wee hours of October 6, 2016. My arm had been set by ER docs but not to the best functional alignment. He spent considerable time reviewing possible treatment outcomes with me. Dr. HILLYARD is a highly regarded surgeon but we did not choose surgery. He re- set my arm and saw me every day on the trauma unit. He saw me during each follow-up appointment. He was incredibly patient, kind and thorough.
