My pinky was broken in 3 places; after doctor Z surgery and months of PT, I was able to restore 95% mobility. He was supportive during that period, provided clear instructions at every stage of the process.
Overall Rating: 1.0 2024-11-11 
He is the worst hand doctor I've ever get treated by. The injection he gave me hurt my hands for weeks. My right hand was swollen and sensitive to touch. It was difficult to work. My other hand doctor when gives an injection you get relief within a couple of days.  And, he keep saying that i don't carpal tunnel, but he doesn't know what I  have. Smhhhh
