I recently underwent trigger finger outpatient surgery performed by Dr.Messer and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience and outcome. From the very first consultation, Dr. Messer demonstrated exceptional confidence and expertise, which immediately put me at ease.
Dr.Messer is not only highly skilled but also incredibly caring. He took the time to patiently answer all my questions and address my concerns, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. His compassion and dedication to patient care are truly commendable.
The surgery itself was smooth and successful, and the post-operative care provided his team was outstanding. Thanks to his meticulous approach and attention to detail, I am now on the path to a swift and full recovery.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Messer to anyone in need of hand surgery. His blend of professionalism, kindness, and surgical expertise makes him an exceptional physician and a true asset to the medical community.
