Dr. Bacon, I can never thank you enough for what you have done for me and for my daughter, Melia. In 2011, on the first anniversary of my surgery, my wife and I walked for two hours on Copacabana beach in Rio. I also completed a four hour nature walk over rough terrain in The Falklands and hiked to del Fin del Terre at the tip of South America. You are truly a great doctor, and I thank God every day for you and for Dr. Fogarty who recommended you for Melia's surgery.

I wanted to take some time and write to you about Dr. Stacy Bacon. Two years ago on August 25, 2009 I fell off a balcony and shattered my ankle, tibea, and fibula. I went to the emergency room and they said I would need to see an Orthopedic Surgeon because the break was so severe. On August 26, 2009 I went and met with Dr. Bacon she came in and evaluated my leg and foot and said I had a serious break and I was going to have to undergo a lot to get healed.
In the last two years I have undergone eight surgeries, three external fixators, and finally amputating the leg. I have had a lot of ups and downs in the last two years and through it all Dr. Bacon was amazing. She has always shown real concern and passion about me - she has at times made me feel like someone in her family that was hurt.
Now that my leg has been amputated I am so happy because I know there is a true end in sight and I will get my life back. The only sad part is this means there is also an end in sight for my relationship with Dr. Bacon.
I would like you to know that Dr. Stacy Bacon is an amazing person and an amazing doctor. Every time I meet someone and they ask me who my doctor is and I tell them Dr. Bacon I hear the same thing. Oh My God she is awesome, she helped my nephew, my child, my husband, wife and the list goes on. She has helped a ton of people and she has helped me. We tried everything under the moon and stars to save my leg, but it wasn't meant to be and that's ok - trust me I am so excited about my new life I just can't put it into words.
For the rest of my life I will hold Dr. Stacy Bacon in the highest regard and I would recommend her and this company to everyone I know. Advanced Orthopedics' should be honored to have someone like Dr. Bacon representing them.

Dear Dr Bacon,
I wanted to thank you for helping with my ankle.
If you recall I came to you for a second opinion after it was recommended I get an OATS procedure for an osteochondral defect. You recommended a far less invasive procedure and I am so incredibly happy I went with you! I wanted to let you know that I played a game of soccer with my boys (6, 10, & 13) last night and for the first time in two years did so with absolutely no pain during or after. I've been cycling on a stationary bike and feel awesome and now I'm happy to say that for almost 100% of the time I forget about my ankle because it simply doesn't hurt anymore. I just can't begin to explain how happy I am with the success of this surgery, I can't believe I almost went with OATS.
My main purpose for getting the surgery was to ensure that my boys didn't have a Dad who couldn't play or run around and have fun, and I can honestly say that I've met that goal. You've made my life a thousand times better! Thanks again!!
