Very professional. Lots of patience
I thought he was thorough to the point and explained everything very well.
Excellent service the best ever have ever come across in a facility. I did my surgery yesterday March 27, 2026. My first time ever getting a surgery, but it was great thank you to Doctor handling and his wonderful staff.
He moves fast but he does address all issues
Awesome experience Dr Handling was very professional and knew exactly what my problem was and took the correct measures to resolve them. He made me feel really comfortable with dealing with the issues I was having. My knee feels so much better than before. I will continue to follow the instructions he gave me and I will be back for my 6 weeks evaluation in May! Thank you Dr Handling!!!!
Highly recommend! He took the time to explain my situation and gave me options. Very informative and helpful!
Day of surgery went very smoothly. Staff at the front desk were nice. Anesthesia and nurses were very friendly and helpful.
Very pleasant, good explanation of options, and appointment was timely.
Great!!! Injected needles in middle of front knees! Had always been on sides. Been having this done every 3monthd for yrs. Anxious to see how these work.
Dr handling has a great concern for his patience and I would recommend him to anyone I feel as though is the best orthopedic doctor around and I would refer him to anyone
