Patient Reviews
Feb 14, 2025
I was unable to raise my wrist above zero degrees, could not make a tight fist, and fingers would lock with constant pain. Dr. John Fowler performed surgery on my right hand in August 2024 and now my right hand-wrist is without limits, zero pain, and cannot tell that it had surgery. Dr. Fowler is an outstanding professional and a highly skilled surgeon. I felt confident in his abilities from my first meeting and throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Dr. Fowler to anyone seeking a master surgeon. The entire UPMC team was exceptional and as I have stated in previous posts, UPMS is the most professional, talented, and results driven medical organization that I have dealt with. We travel past other large medical organizations to have our medical needs addressed at UPMC and have NEVER been disappointed.
