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.
The doctors PA, Abigail, helped me today. She was a pleasure to speak with and very knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable under her care.
Wry personable and thorough when explaining my situation.
Excellent doctor!
I was expecting to see Dr. Insel. I was surprised when the PA walked in; no Dr. Insel. I should have been told this when making the appointment. The PA was fine, but that's not the point.
He was great. Took care of me really well
By far the best doctor ever. He correctly diagnosed my disease, and helped me to get a faster appointment with the specialist.
