They have done a good job with my Dupuytren's Contracture disease with the understanding that this takes time to correct. The doctor is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions.

John Sperry

Unbelievable! I played two hours of basketball one week after my procedure. The only thing I am “sorry” about is not having the procedure performed sooner.
