Dr. Sessions did carpal tunnel surgery on both of my hands and even though I waited years too long to have it done both came out good. He’s very blunt and to the point, doesn’t beat around the bush or sugar coat anything but he’s good. Both of my surgeries were done in his office, I drove myself to and from both surgeries. No anesthesia, just numbed my hand and arm. It was the easiest surgery ever. Just needed a bandaid after the second day. I highly recommend Dr. Sessions.
