Patient Reviews
Dec 23, 2020
Dr Alex is the very best in my opinion. I had very bad pain in my wrist and whole arm. The pain was so bad I could not sleep, and if I did sleep be woken due to the pain. The doctor saw me in the office and ordered a nerve conductivity study that indicated my problems. We scheduled a surgery date and within 24 after the surgery 90% of my pain was gone, gone after dealing with this pain for so long. I just (30 minutes ago) had my stitches removed and the wound looks fantastic, little scaring. Also I’m pain free and sleeping much better. I recommend the Dr Alex and his attentive staff for anyone who is in need of a hand surgeon. For me he’s to go-to-guy.
