I appreciated his evaluation with years of experience.
Awesome awesome surgeon!!
I really appreciated your expertise in dealing with my hand operation for trigger finger. Thank you. Looking forward for you to look into my rotator cuff situation in my shoulder.
As always a very positive visit.
I have great confidence in him.
Had to wait almost 2 hours for a very painful procedure I was already stressed about. The staff didn’t indicate what the problem was nor checked in on me. Not much information from the doctor on the procedure, what I could expect from the treatment ,next steps etc.
I feel incredibly confident in his understanding of my condition and recommendations for care.
Compassionate; explained and showed me the x-ray; very thorough
Dr. Sternenberg has both extensive knowledge and a communication style that I wish were present in all practitioners. From my first consultation through the collagenase injection I just had, he could answer my questions with reference to the medical literature and when appropriate, would straight-forwardly say 'We don't know' or 'The research suggests this but the evidence isn't stong'. I had complete confidence in him, and indeed the injection went well and fully resolved the contracture within 2 days. I'd have no hesitation coming back to Dr. Sternenberg for any hand or upper extremity issue.
Dr. Sternenberg comes highly rated so I need to trust his opinion, however he only spent about 5 min with me and told me he could not help, but also did not explain the imaging report. I am struggling to understand how I can heal from what the mri reported, and my pain and swelling have increased. I start PT tomorrow so hopefully that provider will help me understand what is going on, and help me heal. Maybe all will be fine in time, but I did not receive any reassurance from this doctor.
