Request an Appointment Previous When I had a fall this past summer I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Himmelwright. He is definitely a people person. He doesn't seem rushed and takes his time explaining to you what is going on with your injury and what the options are. I had to get surgery and once again he took his time and explained the procedure to me before taking me back and even cracked a joke saying were going to be scar buddies now. Any one who needs to see an orthopedic doctor and wants a one-on-one experience should definitely see Dr. Himmelwright.
