He was pleasantly very nice! And he verbally gave me some hand exercises to keep my trigger finger episodes to a minimum. He didn’t push surgery.

Dr Hess did my carpal tunnel surgery 4 years ago. Went back for my hurting wrist. X-rays found the problem, Dr Hess explained the treatment options. We settled for cortisone shot. All good, no pain. He’s very professional and has excellent patient skills.
