Very professional and understanding. Very nice,all around good guy.
Dr. Dorf and PA Patrick were very reassuring and congenial. I left feeling very pleased with the result of the diagnosis and treatment.
Dr. Dorf is an effective communicator, an exceptional surgeon, and a friendly and understanding person to boot! I’m grateful he was available to care for my messy wrist fracture (both were broken, but only my one required his surgical expertise). The office staff is also exceptional. All in all, it was a fantastic experience during a personally challenging time. Thank you!
