Always friendly, thorough and professional.
Dr, Creighton was very knowledgeable helpful regarding my right thumb; He and his PA listened to me and even Goggled images (which is what most of us do anyway when we’re trying to understand) during my appointment to help explain; Thank you Dr, C and your team
First visit, first class.
Very knowledgeable and explained my options to combat my Dupuytren’s Contraction on my right hand, pinky finger.
Explained procedure and what to expect on my revision surgeries for carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel
Except hurting today but that what he told me would happen. Willl let you know in a couple weeks how it is going
Very qualified orthopedic specialist, took time to explain everything.
Dr. Creighton and his associate listened very carefully to my story. He was able to pinpoint the bone and tiny joint in my hand that was the culprit. I’m very satisfied with my service Today!!!
