Patient Reviews
Jul 14, 2024
In 2009 I got into a really bad car accident. My left had was messed up bad. My thumb and pinky was completely hanging off by the skin and my ring and index finger were completely broken. He repaired my whole hand and placed a skin graft over the part of my hand where the bones and tissues were exposed. My God was with this man in the surgery room. I have full range of motion with my hand. Was told I may develop arthritis. No arthritis. He did my pt with my hand. He is the Greastest doctor I know on Earth.
