very knowledgeable, on time, sometimes a little too quick, but he knows his stuff. He is right up front with you if he can't "fix" you. I like the way he is conservative and doesn't rush into surgery right away.

After being in intense pain, for months, and diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel in both hands, my Neurologist sent me to this (Doctor?!)Cortisone shots were suggested. I told him, that I am not good with needles, and asked him if he could get someone on his staff to help me hold my hand down. He told me, "No, you will be fine, but you will hate me for about 10 minutes. He proceded to administer the cortisone into my thumb, the source of my pain in my left hand and I flinched due to the intense pain. He got upset and said harshly, that now he would have to stick me again. I was shaking and in pain, he grabbed my left hand with the intent to administer the cortisone, and I placed my other hand on top of his and apologized, saying, I,m sorry, but I just can't, you don't understand the pain level that I am in! He got disgusted, jumped up, threw the needle into the spent needle box, and told me that when I get myself together, to give him a call. He offered no hand braces or pain meds!
