Dr. Birdsong was phenomenal! Kindly, one of the best doctor visits I've ever had. He did a thorough evaluation of my hands and then a thorough and very understandable explanation of my condition, and potential procedures that can help.
Extremely professional knowledgeable, and a great bedside manner! I highly recommend him!
