Outstanding experience. Attentive to my needs. He took the time to explain what was going on with my hand and what my options for treatment were. Then promptly began the treatment I selected.
I half expected a “You’ll need to make a different appointment to start treatment”, but he seemed more interested is solve my problem that getting another couple of dollars.
