I would not recommend this Dr. who came across as a bit cold, short, and arrogant. I presented with a ganglion cyst on my right wrist. He told me that he would not aspirate it as I requested, he said that he was the expert ,and suggested that I have a surgically removed in the OR to prevent infection and the Dr. who had aspirated it in the past ( more than 6 years ago) was wrong in doing so. Both remedies could potentially open me up for infection and could both potentially not solve the problem. His follow up notes were inaccurate. He did not physically examine my wrist, yet notated the range of motion by degrees and said that my grip strength was normal which it is not. He did not Touch my wrist, flex my wrist, or get an x-ray of my wrist all which is stated in my follow up notes that the x-ray was reviewed and interpreted. He also notated that I continue my current pain medication and not to exceed the daily maximum dose……This was never discussed. I left the office with the mindset that he would not touch it. He may be a great doctor, and the expert in his field, all I know is I have had this cyst aspirated twice over the past 20 years. It was no big deal and fixed within minutes during an office visit with a needle. I didn't have to waste thousands of dollars to get cut open in an OR.
