Doctors Lex, Quigley and Bruggeman all agree that some of their most satisfying work has been with children. Cases involving children afford them a longer physician-patient relationship than the average.

All three doctors are trained in microsurgery and have the expertise to perform reattachment of traumatically amputated fingers, hands or arms.

Steve Lex, Jack Quigley, Brian Bruggeman and Maureen Hurley all find great fulfillment in their work and feel that it is a great privilege to live and work in such a wonderful community and setting.
