I visited Dr. Kann to treat pain from carpal tunnel after visiting other doctors for the same problem. Dr. Kann's approach was the best. He did not immediately jump to surgical solutions as others had. He suggested a steroid injection first and to monitor to see if surgery may be needed. He provided the injection during the visit. I understand his surgical approach is much less invasive. He provided that surgery for my son with excellent results.
