A one-word description of Dr. Talsania would be “efficient”. The enters the room, shakes my hand and gets right to work. He has all the necessary equipment right at his fingertips (no pun intended) for assessing and treating my hand issues and quickly gets the job done.
Great doctor! Love him!
Great doctor, explained everything to me, was down to earth and very knowledgeable
He seemed very competent and nice, but explained everything very fast, so I had trouble catching it all.
