The reviews listed below were collected independently of Carolina Hand & Sports Medicine through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Thorough and quick evaluation. He explained the source and cause of my pain. He offered several treatment approaches. We chose to start with the simplest first and the good news is that it seems to be working.
