Great Doc. To the point and really listens. Office is amazingly efficient. I started with their urgent care and was promptly sent to Dr Starr after X-rays due to the severity of my fracture. Surgery was scheduled for 2 days later. They don’t mess around!

Dr. Starr is as personable as he is professional! I was confident with his assessment of my wrist and recommendations for treatment. I would not hesitate to return to him in the future for any upper extremity issue I might have. I spent over 34 years as a Certified Hand Therapist, OTR and truly appreciate the level of care he provided.
