Amazing first visit. Dr. Handler put us right at ease immediately and answered all my husband’s questions. The whole office staff was so friendly and the cast maker was a hoot!
He was Marie kept it light, made sure my son was comfortable and that we were comfortable with the treatment plan options.
Great bedside manner. Thorough in exams and explanations. Down to earth and easy to talk to.
Informative, incredibly knowledgeable, practical, incredibly polite!
He is awesome with the kids!!
Dr Handwerger is great with kiddos and has a very good sense of humor. Hopefully we won’t need him again, but if we do, he will be our choice.
Amazing surgeon. He also has an amazing bedside manor.
Such a great appointment and very good doctor! He was very informative and caring and helpful!
I’m glad to read his name🤣 that isn’t what I heard, made me crave McDonald’s! He was great with my three year old’s first visit! I feel relieved that she is in a cast and we look forward to our next visit in four weeks.
I really love Dr Handwerger as my orthopedic doctor. His bedside manner is exceptional—he’s down-to-earth and speaks honestly without sugarcoating anything. He has this great way of putting you at ease while still giving it to you straight about what’s going on. It feels good to have a doctor who is both real and reassuring. Highly recommend!!!
