Dr. Lorenzo is a wonderful hand doctor. She not only has different suggestions to consider but she’s also a good listener. I’m glad I found her!

Kind, knowledgeable staff. Cara is amazing. From the first time I met her in my hospital bed I was impressed with her confidence and bedside manner. In her office, she explained everything in detail with pictures and verbally. I feel very lucky to have her as my surgeon

Dr. Lorentzen was great! Seemed to really care and want to diagnose my hand issue. Which is rare these days. She asked questions, examined my hand and did X-rays. I am glad I went to her because the previous doctor may have mis-diagnosed my condition and wanted to do surgery.
