Dr. Hess was very thorough in evaluating the problem with my left hand. He took the time to explain my condition, answer all of my questions, and discuss the treatment options and next steps. His assistant, Tony, was also very helpful and professional. They both made me feel comfortable and well-informed throughout my appointment. I truly appreciate the excellent care they provided.

Dr Hess and His PA treated me today. I was given undivided attention to my recent carpal tunnel which is healing nicely. I also addressed another issue and was given a steroid shot to help. Dr Hess listens carefully never rushes you and makes me feel like I received the destroy care ever. Thank you Dr Hess and staff

Just recently saw Dr. Hess about my finger which gets stuck in a down position. Called trigger finger. Is very nice. Explained everything clearly. I feel very comfortable having him as my surgeon because he has done surgery for me twice for carpal tunnel. I feel those surgeries were the best things I've ever done for myself! I had no complications and very easy recovery.

Easy peasey. 2 cortisone finger shots and good to go. Hoping to get back on the golf course. Therapy on the way. Dr. Hess and Dr.Tom are awesome. Good choice for Drs. I’m happy.

Dr Hess to the time to answer my last minute questions. He was patient with me. My prayers is that the pain I have been experiencing since April, will be eliminated

2 poks on the sore area, the option of a shot or surgery was his diagnosis. It took less then 30 seconds, he had no time to discuss any thing. Said call back in three weeks. That's not going to happen. I won't go back to see him
