Patient Reviews
Oct 26, 2025
While undoubtedly a talented surgeon, his bedside manner leaves a lot to desire. He was so caught up in the theatrics of his evaluation, he never actually touched my hands, instead relying on his physician assistants’ assessments. And worse, he was dismissive of both mine and my rheumatologist’s concerns and arrogantly told me she was wrong. Had I listened to him and ignored the hand swelling (which he wrote off to carpal tunnel) and other physical symptoms , I would never have been properly diagnosed with scleroderma (systemic sclerosis sine scleroderma) and gotten the treatment I need. Go see someone else who actually listens and physically examines your hands rather than relying on a physician assistant to do it.
