Dr Starr is pretty perfect, imo. He is highly efficient but also very friendly - A rare combination in my experience! He's very open to questions and responds in a way that a non-medical person can easily understand. I'm grateful for his expertise, dedication, and attention to details of a (for me) very scary situation. He was so reassuring.

I’m truly grateful to have been treated like a person, not just a procedure. After a previous consultation pushed surgery without even examining my hands, this doctor took the time to evaluate me properly and gave me a far more realistic and reassuring outlook. Thank you for your care and professionalism.
