Excellent hand physician!!
Doctor Jay Talsania is an expert in his field of orthopedics. Doctor Jay has made numerous surgical repairs on my injuries, thus allowing me to live my life, the way I want to live! And I have worked hard ( Electrician)and played hard (weight lifting and sports) He also is a very kind soul to have in my life.
Kind Knowkedgeable Professional and has Compassion. Blessed to have him in our area. We drive 100 miles so I can see Dr. Talsania!!
Very friendly. Introduced himself to me and my husband before asking about my issue. Once surgery was deemed unnecessary he recommended a brace. Discovering I did not live nearby he called over to their occupational therapy dept and arranged an immediate appointment so I would not have to make another trip. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Meeting with Dr Jay is just as I expected. Nothing but the best this is the second time being under his care in the past decade and I can not say enough good things about him he’s the best surgeon I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with and would highly recommend him to anyone
Complete confidence as usual in seeing Dr. Talsania. Thank you

Couldn't ask for a better doctor !! He takes the time to answer any questions.
Very nice bed side manners and great surgeon.
