Carteret Co. residents get free surgery thanks to local surgeons
Operation Walk USA
“This year we participated in a national program for the third year in a row,” said Dr. Robert Coles.
The surgeons who perform the operations also donate their time. Dr. Robert Coles and Dr. Thomas Bates have both participated.
It’s because of efforts by surgeons like Dr. Bates that patients can live their lives pain free.
Six people in Carteret County have now received surgeries as part of Operation Walk USA. Overall, the organization has helped more than 500 people regain their mobility.
