This was the best experience I’ve had in a medical office in YEARS! Friendly staff and extremely knowledgeable! The PA was very knowledgeable and professional with a funny bedside manner. I felt so confident in his diagnosis that I said I didn’t even need to see the doctor. He told me the doctor needs to see me because I was a new patient. The doctor was amazing! Kind and very good at explaining what is happening and what my options were. It was a surprise to me to have had such a pleasant experience in a medical office. That doesn’t happen very often in these days and times. I highly recommend this practice!

Quick,thourogh and very professional
Nov-2023
He told me to wear a brace for 6 weeks! Nothing was mentioned regarding restoration of the use of my fractured left wrist. At this point, I don't see any reason to return to see him if I'm only to wear a "brace" to recover. My wrist and fingers are continuing to stay swollen. The brace is not too tight to cause swelling. My wrist is still painful. I'm not able to use my left hand or fingers. I was told I fractured my wrist. Is this how a broken wrist is to correctly heal?
Nov-2023
Dr Machado is a great surgeon! He listens and treats you with respect

Dr. Machado is one of the most sincere, caring & skilled doctors that I have ever worked with! After a terrible injury to my left wrist & arm I was given a very bleak prognosis for ever using it again! After surgery & 6 months of care with Dr. Machado I have 100% use of fingers, hand, wrist & arm with NO restrictions. There is a metal implant inside. I consider this somewhat of a miracle & a definite “work of art “!
