Patient Reviews
Aug 05, 2024
My experience with Dr. Taras was many years ago in Phila. After a minor injury I developed RSD CRPS of the right hand, where I lost all movement. He treated me for several months that included intense physical therapy. Thanks to his expertise, kindness and patience, I have full use of my hand. I will always be grateful to him
