Very professional I liked him
Dr. Helgemo did a great job straightening my fingers with a minimally invasive surgery. I have severe Dupuytrens contracture which makes my fingers contract and bend. I'm very pleased with how my hand turned out.
Wonderful physician
He was so genuine and professional at the same time! So grateful that there are Dr's that still treat you like a real person instead of a number! Kudos!
