I could have been placed under more capable hands. I knew the estimated duration for healing, any discomfort I felt was discussed with suggestions, and the feeling that Dr. Faber truly cares about her patients. I have no complaints, but sincere gratitude! Thank you so much Dr.Faber! E. Brown

I don't feel that my doctor fully understood all of the issues in my hands and just cherry picked a few of them to treat. I felt dismissed. I felt that there was little concern for the trauma I experienced and was continuing to experience. When specifically showing a test for pain in the wrist, I was asked how likely it is that I would be doing that move. It is something that if my client was having a positive test I would refer them to a doctor like her. When asked if pain I was having interrupted sleep, perhaps a better question would have been if it disappeared daily living, which is yes very much so because I had to again take a week off work with no pay. I felt dismissed over and over again and when discussing a diagnosis was told that if the tx was not correct it wouldn't work. And that I didn't need to make any further appointments or come back. I will not return. I will seek a doctor somewhere else. BTW, the tx is not working.

Excellent visit. Dr Faber explained the surgery and procedures she used. Visual X-rays plus communication of what to expect. A different removable wrap was placed and therapy detail and script. Stitches removed after 2 weeks, X-rays and instructions for further healing today.

Great explanation of what she can do to correct my bone. Surgery isn’t fun,, but I felt better with her letting me know what would happen. I feel she is trustworthy.

I had to wait over 40 minutes to be seen in the office but other than that she was great. Medical providers should be cognizant of other people‘s time and if you ask us to be there early for appointment, I expect to be seen in a timely manner no more delays than 10 minutes..
