Patient Reviews
Oct 01, 2018
I'm a military veteran who was injured. I've seen so many doctors over the years that claim to be the best but they haven't been able to fix my complicated hand injuries. As a contractor, I really rely on my hands to do very detail oriented work for my clients. Without my hands, I can't work. Dr. Short is excellent, he fixed my hands good as new, and it's impossible for me to give someone a higher recommendation. He really is the best.
