I think Dr Gove is awesome. I don’t feel like he is rushing in and out and I don’t have a long wait.
Kind, focused, knowledgeable about my specific hand condition. Gave me a prognosis and a plan for how I can long-term use my hand and what treatment modalities can be used to to help me stay pain-free. Excellent doctor!!!
Knows what I need and what I want.
Very Professional. Explained what I could do to relieve my hand pain. The steps to figure out what a Dip Fusion would be like with a temporary splint to enact a stiff finger. What surgery would involve & the recovery.
I had no reservation to return to Dr. Gove after 12 years away. He’s professional & personable.
Great listener and explanations are clear.
I have had two procedures done and a third upcoming, always excellent.
Explanation was very clear!! Office very organized!! Waited maybe 5 minutes after check in!! But ask that they not use the PORTAL, as we find it difficult to use! But had a portal message before I got home from the appointment 👎👎
I did not find out much I have to have a nerve study and evidently they are booked by out on that.
Knowledgeable, n calming n gave realistic options for treatments
