A great doctor and wonderful person. Recommended by three people and I’ve recommended him as well. It’s refreshing to see an upbeat doctor as well as staff. Thanks to Dr. Talsanias’s expertise and humanitarianism.
Put in as emergency appointment. Everything dealt with quickly and professionally
Great exam, good details to my hand issues. Wonderful treatment plan. Very easy to talk to. Would highly recommend.
Best surgeon!! Recommend him to everyone.
Dr Talsania and his staff were wonderful, professional and informative.
Very professional and thorough!
Excellent doctor which has taken very good care if me. Actually going for surgery on a finger today by him.
The doctor barely spent more than 3 minutes speaking with me prior to the surgery in pre-op and I never saw him post-op. I had to make numerous phone calls to his office and the Surgery Center after I left the center at 3:30 pm because the pharmacy had not yet received the prescription and the surgery center told me that they don’t work in this doctor’s office and could not help me. The pharmacy did not receive the prescription until 4:45 pm and my ride had to drive me home prior to that time because we had already waited at the pharmacy for over 30 minutes, to no avail. The bandaging was applied sloppily and began falling apart the following day. I waited over 30 minutes in the waiting room after I arrived at my appointment time of 10:15 am prior to being called into pre-op because the surgery center was so packed that it resembled a factory. I wasn’t even offered or given anything to eat or drink after I regained consciousness in post-op. This was the worse place I’ve had surgery.
Great hand doctor very personable
