Patient Reviews
Mar 11, 2025
He was great: Pleasant, listened, examined my hand and explained my X-rays. Answered all my questions, gave me all options from the minimal to surgical. Agreed an injection was a good place to start and administered it. I left with instructions to call to be seen by him if my pain returned and with clear instructions on what to expect in the next 48 hours after the corticosteroid injection. Highly recommend.
