I didn't actually see the doctor. I saw his PA which she was very nice and she did a very good examination of both my hands and explained what was wrong with them and how we can fix them and she gave me two different scripts. That's why I gave the doctor five stars even though it goes to the PA that I saw.

Dr. Insel is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, & exceptionally helpful. He examines the entire area of the problem analyzing while verbally describing what he is finding. I find it incredibly interesting. I am so happy to have found him. He has helped me do very much when other doctors told me nothing would help. I’m very thankful.
