June 16, 2025ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERI had a traumatic accident and was fortunate to be treated by this caring, smart, detail oriented, energetic Dr. I'm hoping for good results, but feel confident in his skill as a hand surgeon!!
June 13, 2025ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERFriendly, knowledgeable. Enjoys what he does.
June 02, 2025ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERThis was a trauma surgery, and I was very concerned about the expertise of a surgeon stepping in without prior knowledge or ability to get other opinions. I was extremely nervous about the surgery on both wrists, but he was professional, personable, but far more important was his surgical skill. Follow up has been very good, so we are hoping for the best possible outcome.
