He’s the best!! So nice!! Both kids and parents will appreciate his friendly and knowledgeable demeanor.
Our daughter broke her arm/wrist in a skating accident. Dr. Handwerger was so awesome. He really lifted her spirits and had her cracking up with jokes. The nurses and ortho casting tech, Scottie, were great too. We could not have asked for a better experience.
We trust Dr. Handwerger with our kids…and he is always so kind and makes the kids feel at ease.
He was so nice and sweet to my son!! Made him feel really comfortable. Very professional
Thorough and great bedside manner/personality which sadly isn’t very common these days.
Very nice great doctor for kids, great attitude, explains things well. He was a pleasure.
He is a great orthopedic doctor. I recommend him to anyone who has a child that play sports. Best in Mobile to me. My son Bop makes sure he has Dr. Hangwerger on his team. He calls Him the miracle Dr. lol. But he is a people person. We love him hands down. 😘😘
Dr Handwerger is great! Is great with the patients and parents. Informative and gives a clear plan on moving forward.
Fantastic doctor with amazing bedside manner. Grateful for his knowledge and expertise.
He was friendly and made us feel like we mattered to him
