Dr. Mehlhoff is an amazing surgeon who specializes in hands, wrists, and elbows. He is without equal in his field. I would love to give him 10 stars, but I will have to settle for five. Dr. Mehlhoff saved my right wrist when it was badly broken--actually crushed--and I am right handed. The break was incredibly severe; I found out later the break was in the top 90% of the worst possible breaks. I had fallen while jogging and landed on the wrist, shattering it in 20 places. When I contacted his office, his nurse Kim worked me in the next day, and Dr. Mehlhoff personally over saw the temporary casting of my wrist. A week later, I had major surgery that required the use of cadaver bone, a plate, and 10 screws--and an overnight stay in Texas Orthopedic Hospital (which also has superior staff and wonderful nursing care). After I was out of the cast, Dr. Mehlhoff then provided orders for occupational therapy at Texas Orthopedic Hospital where the superb staff help in the Rehabilitate Department helped me regain range of motion in my wrist. Now, I have full function in my wrist--thanks to Dr. Mehlhoff''s incredible expertise. It is no wonder that Dr. Mehlhoff is the Astros wrist surgeon. I feel incredibly lucky that he was my surgeon, and I am thankful for his skill every day. By the way, he is also an incredibly nice man who has a wonderful, supportive, and kind bedside manner. I strongly recommend Dr. Mehlhoff for any issue that you have with a hand, wrist, or elbow. read more
