“Along with that, we will be able to increase the number of fracture care and regular procedures we’re able to do at Lakewood, which we would previously have had to send elsewhere,” Albrecht stated.
Lakewood orthopedic patients who have an appointment or procedure scheduled with the health care provider will be contacted by a member of the Lakewood team to discuss their options. Questions can be directed to Lakewood’s customer experience department at 218-894-8778.
