He will sit and listen and go over any questions you have. He takes time with you, you don’t feel rushed.

Absolutely superior physician and person. He fixed my thumb in 2020 and have scheduled an appointment for him to fix my trigger finger. You'll find no more capable and personable Orthopaedic Doctor...

Dr. Hess spent time explaining my condition and the surgical options..He is so easy to talk to and he made me feel confident that I made the right decision. As a nurse, I am picky about doctors and Dr. Hess is definitely a great choice for hand surgery.

I think Dr Hess is the BEST, as well as his Team. I am doing exceptionally well after my Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement surgery and it is all thanks to Dr. HESS.
