Patient Reviews
Oct 16, 2024
10 years ago had 2 rounds of injections in my ring finger from a Dr. in NY with no improvement. The contractures continued to worsen in my ring and small finger and I had a surgery consultation with Dr. Bernstein about 13 months ago. Surgery on both fingers completed a year ago. Excellent improvement for me from what the Dr. said was one of his most complicated Duputryn’s operations. I highly recommend Dr. Bernstein and all his staff - particularly Kathleen who did a fantastic job handling all my PT.
