Dr Messer is wonderful: friendly, caring and professional and treats all his patients as individuals. No matter your ailment, from a complicated hands surgery to a minor cyst removal, his bedside/chairside manner is reassuring and comforting. His staff are equally professional, caring and efficient.

Dr Messer has helped me with my dupuytrens contracture in both my hands. He’s educated, and helped me regain the full use of my hands. He ultimately did a 15 minute outpatient procedure that has been a game changer in my life. I can garden, make gourmet meals and have the ability to enjoy my life again. Explore the options for better functioning, you’ll be glad you did!
