The reviews listed below were collected independently of Hughston Clinic Orthopaedics through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Came in and got straight to the point, ran me through 3-4 different options I could try to fix my hand. I chose the surgery option, before I knew it he was gone and I was out the door with an appointment. Strongly recommend.

Very long long wait… 1 hour in waiting area is unacceptable.. in any physicians waiting area .. and then another long wait in patient room before being seen, that’s not very professional either . Dr McDonald was very nice.
