Very informative and quick to get me into surgery for my problems
It was a quick visit but I can see what a great dr he is. Seems on top of things & you just get that trusting feeling right away! I liked him!
Melissa and the office staff were awesome
Wonderful staff and doctor! Hard to find these days. Had 2 trigger fingers fixed in 1 visit.
Had to wait a while, but worth the wait! No nonsense, straight to the facts, excellent advice.
First visit, thorough and explained things well. Will have a procedure
Kind, considerate, compassionate, and knowledgeable.
I am really happy I went to the Florida hand center. Everyone was so nice and they explained everything to me Thank you
Very helpful in describing what i needed done on injury. Only reason not 5 stars is he actually didn't have to perform any surgery 👍
Dr Helgemo was great. He took the time to explain my conditions and go over treatment options.
