DR INSEL always listens to my needs and we make a plan !!
Always a pleasure to meet with Dr Insel. He’s very considerate. He listens to my questions and gives thoughtful responses.
He’s great . Always fixes me 😊
Very thorough and knows his craft. Highest recommendation.
Attentive, professional and to the point
Dr. Insel explained what was going on, what my options were & in a way I understood..
Dr. Insel is a great hand doctor/surgeon. He performed arthrodesis surgery on my thumb, and it looks beautiful and feels great. You can barely even see the scar. I never had a problem after he did the surgery. He was very kind and caring and was on top of the pain management aspect of my surgery. He even coordinated with my pain specialist to make sure my needs were met. I had to see him again regarding issues with my other hand. He was still the same kind, personable, professional doctor as he was the first time he took care of me. Thankfully, this time I didn’t need surgery, but he had me fitted with daytime and nighttime braces for my thumb. I very highly recommend Dr. Aaron Insel!
Knowledgeable and kind
No issues. Will continue to follow up and hope for some hand improvement.
Excellent doctor, has treated me for several years. Always on time, thorough and understandable. I recommend him highly.
