Very friendly and reassuring.
Dr. Dorf is both professional and kind. He is knowledgeable about the hand based on his study and experience. I have utmost confidence in his skill as a surgeon.
Dr. Dorf is not only exceptionally skilled but a caring physician. We wouldn’t go anywhere else other than VSON for our care. We have the utmost confidence in Dr. Dorf and all the physicians there.

Dr Dorf is knowledgeable, professional and compassionate. These characteristics combined with great communication skills equal excellence.
Dr. Dorf is a wonderful, thoughtful, compassionate professional. He has been very good in diagnosing, and treating my personal medical needs. All in all, I couldn’t have found a better doctor than ….Doctor Dorf!
I came in w a complaint of hand numbness that i thought was lokely related to a wrist sprain from 2 weeks before. He said that the tingling in my hand could not be related to the sprain bc of location. Then his focuwas on the strain and getting an mri. But the sprain doesn’t hurt much anymore. I was seeking treatment for the nerve issue. He didn’t suggest any treatment or assessment for the nerve issue. Was focused on teaching the student and not addressing my chief complaint. His priorities were not the same as mine.
The best
Was a very nice dr and did a great job 👏 giving me the shots in both shoulders. Waiting to see him again next time.
First time meeting Erik. He had so much in common on a personal level, and also very knowledgeable doctor. He was training a newer person while my visit, and did a great job.
Clear with explanation, quick and efficient.
