Dr Truelove was amazing! She is very knowledgeable regarding carpal tunnel and her "bedside" manner was impeccable. I would not hesitate to recommend her services.
Dr. Truelove is amazing, personable, informative and very welcoming and gives total compassion. I absolutely love her and hope to continue with any treatment I may need in the future.
This woman right here, she is very special, to me. I hardly know her but she has operated and fixed both of my hands for carpel tunnel. Herself and all the staff in DownEast Orthopedics, EXCEPTIONAL. I'm sure they are tired of hearing that from me over and over again, but these days, the world has changed & generally you don't find the same service and support as much as you used to. I have and will recommend anyone to come here for any surgery. Top of the line, if I could give a milion stars, I would. Thank you so much, to all of you. Especially Truelove.... 💜 She is a special soul in this world.
