Patient Reviews
Feb 07, 2023
The pain in my wrist was constant and I was having trouble performing everyday tasks such as shifting my car, turning a door knob, etc. due to an injury 20 years ago pursuant to which a bone was removed from my wrist. The local wrist surgeons wanted to perform a wrist fusion, which I was very reluctant to do as an active 56-year-old. Thankfully one local doctor had interned at the Mayo and recommended that I see what they could do for me there. Enter Dr. Kakar, who proposed a newer treatment using cadaver back tissue. After consulting with Dr. Kakar and another colleague, who both spent significant time with me, I elected to have the surgery. I am so pleased with the result, my wrist feels great and I am back to my active lifestyle. I am a big fan of Dr. Kakar and his team at Mayo, they were kind, and professional, and made me feel as if I were their most important patient. Highly recommend.
