He's an excellent doctor and always listens attentively to my needs and concerns.
I don’t think I had to make a comment. I gave him five stars so I think that should be enough.
He performed an exam at the 1st visit, diagnosed my problem, and treated me with an injection right on the spot. He saw what the problem was and fixed it! No running around for a bunch of tests. I’m surprised, not even an x-ray. This is “Get er Done” mentality, and it’s refreshing! If I can continue playing guitar, this man saved my career, my passion, my life!
He is incredable! The phone staff need to be retrained, not patient friendly.
Dr. Lorenzana, of the Philadelphia Hand to Shoulder Center, is an excellent doctor. He treated me for the arthritis in my left hand by two injections into my index and middle finger. The swelling has gone down. He explained in detail answering my questions and explained how surgery would work as a permanent solution. I will have him perform the surgery if my two fingers worsen over time. I am very pleased that Dr. Lorenzana has replaced retired Dr Katolik who was also an excellent doctor.
Highly recommend
