Dr Talsania is the best doctor and listens to what you are saying. I went in for a check up thinking the last shot in my hand didn’t help. But after explaining where the pain was he said they was a different problem. After X-ray of both hands determined it was definitely a new problem and addressed what was happening.
He’s the best! Told me about an alternative procedure to the surgery I was anticipating which is easier and with shorter recovery time.
He is so through and kind
Very knowledgeable in his explanation of issues and remedies… and very amiable and compassionate in his approach to the patient.
Always on top of things. Listens to what you say.
He is the best
Dr. Talsania is always pleasant and informative. He stays on the cutting edge of treatment options and is always open to discuss medical alternatives for an ongoing issue. Highly recommend!
Excellent doctor! Thank you no surgery!
He is always so pleasant, informative and efficient. He is all of those to go along with home being the Best hand surgeon on the east coast. I'm glad he's my hand doctor,
Dr Talsania was wonderful. Attentive, thorough, and made me feel at ease.
