Very knowledgeable and explained everything about my Thumb problem
Very pleasant - very accommodating to take time and answer all my questions. He was not rushed. Cortisone injection went very smooth and no discomfort. He was very professional has a caring attitude.
I saw Dr Meyers for a finger injury. He was very informative and I felt very comfortable.
I rarely take the time to write reviews (so busy these days), but my visit with Dr. Meyer was fabulous!! I went in on a referral from my rheumatologist for a node. Dr. Meyer also realized I had trigger finger. New to me! He offered me a cortisone shot. I happily accepted. My hand has been hurting for years and Dr. Meyer figured it out in minutes! Three days later and the pain is minimal to nothing! Thank you Dr. Meyer!!
