Friendly efficient professional

My first time here for a trigger finger issue. He examined, explained options, treated with cortizone, and it's much better now. He knows his business. I'll be back with any future issues and refer him to friends with any hand issues.

Wonderful doctor.

Dr. Helgemo and his staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. They diagnosed and treated my trigger finger in no time at all!

Good staff and doctor. Very personable. Will refer people to him.

Brilliant, compassionate, intuitive and exceptional physician are just a few reasons to award Dr. Helgemo a 5-star rating. All of his staff, especially the front-desk people, equally deserve a 5-star rating, as well. R. C. Silvia P C. Florida

Lovely staff! My only comment was that the Dr came and went so quickly. He didn’t tell me what the cyst was called and he didn’t explain how it was to be removed at a later date. He was very nice, just too much in a hurry.

Very professional and resolved my problem immediately. Thanks doc! It was nice meeting you!

Friendly and caring experience.

Excellent rapport with his new patients and reassuring as to the correct diagnosis and treatment plan for your issue… Made me feel very confident and comfortable for surgery…

Was there for my hand and they won my heart. In my first visit to the Florida Hand Center, after Dr Helgemo heard that I lived 230 miles away, he said "no need for you to make a second trip for the surgery, we can do it today . . . I am sure we can fit you in. And they did fit me into the schedule. I was there just under two hours, total. That time included my initial visit/evalutation, a wait for another surgery to finish so I could have a turn, the surgery, and checking out at the front office. The entire staff was superb, and I vigorously recommend the team. Plus, Dr Helgemo is one of a few specialists in the US who perform Needle Aponeurotomy to correct dupuytrens contracture!

Doc is wonderful. Explains everything .

Very professional and friendly.He seemed very knowledgeable and thorough. Would recommend him highly

Excellent example of a surgeon with a conservative approach to arthritis treatment and education. He's a straight shooter and a great listener.

Dr. Helgemo is wonderful. He has helped me so much with my hands. But most of all-he’s very honest and doesn’t give you any injections unless it’s absolutely necessary. Love him!

So happy and relieved to find a doctor within 50 miles of home using the needle aponeurotomy procedure for Dupuytrens Contracture total time of visit was 45 minutes and I left the office with a bandaid on my pinkie. This was so much better than when I had the surgical procedure on my other pinkie in 2003. I highly recommend the doctor and the procedure!

Awesome surgeon!

Very arrogant

Kind, concerned Doctor, I would recommend Dr. Stephen Helgemo.

He’s the best ! And the staff is also great !

not really good bedside manner, wasn't really interested in what I had to say. I had to interupt him in order to say something. He's been doing this for so long he didn't really have time to hear me. Usherd me through there like sheep. I was done in 15 minutes and he was off to the next one.

Very professional and informative

His personality is so God given. What a caring professional and second to none. Doctor totally put me at ease and explained everything, my symptoms and surgical procedure, in a manner that I understood. He assured me several times that I am going to be fine. I am blessed to have found Dr. Helgemo!
