I really appreciate the easy way he explained what was wrong with my hand. He also gave very professional advice as to what needed to be done and really cared about making sure I was aware of all possible outcomes. I recommend Dr. Starr100%!

This was my first visit. It was exceptional. Every aspect of it was top notch. He was quick telling what the issue was and just as quick solving the problem. Will know in a few weeks if I will need additional treatment, but he stated it is likely I may not. GREAT doc!!!

Dr. Starr is so personable and makes one feel very comfortable. I have never felt rushed or like my questions for him are being discounted. He is very professional, yet also very relatable. He makes the experience a positive one.
