Great Orthopedic, listens to you, nice and helpful.
He was very nice and went out of his way to help us.
Dr Handwerger is the best! My daughter is usually too nervous to talk with adults but his amazing bedside manner had her chatting away! Thank you for the excellent care!
Dr Handwerger is always thorough, professional, and personable. He’s gentle with my little boy and understanding of his disabilities.
He was great! My 3yo daughter loved him also. Would highly recommend for anyone, especially for pediatrics.
