I was extremely anxious about whatever was going on with my thumb. staff is excellent, welcoming and considerate. I was called back almost immediately. doc casein quickly, listened patiently, asked some questions, did a few manual tests, then explained my choices. very straightforward presentation, clear explanation of risks for each of the choices. I chose the cortisone injection. it was basically painless, I was all worked up for naught. had a great result, the injection lasted about 8 months. just went back for a second one. asked about problems with my opposite hand, and he immediately did X-rays, and a pokey test. need surgery for this one and feel safe and comfortable in his care.
