Hand problem clearly described with options for improvement. I appreciate the hand written diagnosis so I can learn more and explain to husband. Dr. K is fantastic. This will be my second procedure for hand arthritis. Great physician and hand surgeon.

Always good to see Dr Katarincic and revisit my thumb issues. She is informative and helpful in managing the pain in my thumb.
I met her PA today for the first time and found her to be personable and thorough.
