Had it removed because of the fear of busting the cyst open, getting an infection and losing part of my finger. Dr. W. did a great job! She used dissolving stitches so not stitch removal. Finger is healing very well. I have full feeling and can bend it and use it again!

We would have never expected to have as much involvement with this department as we have had in our…read morelives. My girl has twice had infections in her thumbs due to soil-related bacterial and fungal pathogens (a reason now why she always wears gloves when she gardens), and I've been treated, either with injections or surgery, for three instances of trigger finger. Dr. Smith is the specialist we have seen, and his expertise has guided us safely every time. Highly recommended.

I had been long walking on a left knee that ached and hurt. My internist's office referred me to…read morethis group. I'm now three weeks past a left knee replacement and I have been completely satisfied with the services from this group, from the DO (VanHuysen) and the orthopedic surgeon (Roehr) to the nurses, the Physician Assistants, and the X ray technicians. All have been professional. I'm impressed by the quality of care and the attentiveness to my situation. And, best of all, my left knee no longer hurts at all. The previous review (from '13) blames the billing issues on the practice but I bet it is more about the hospital at large. I've noticed that when patients carry a balance (e.g., their insurances have paid the hospital but the patients haven't yet paid their portions) they are often asked if they want to "pre-pay" some amount on subsequent services. My portion of the bill after my insurance paid was $323 (not an unreasonable amount, I thought). Payment was due Sept. 9. I mailed my check to the hospital in mid August. But before the check cleared, I went to the Outpatient Lab for labwork. It was there I was asked at Registration if I wanted to "pre-pay." Of course not, I said. My insurance is awesome and I always pay my bills on time. I suppose it's a reminder that hospitals are a business and they need to pay their bills too. About the practice in question, I know that pre-authorization for services was successfully sought, I had in August received in the mail an Explanation of Benefits (EOB), and MyChart shows an itemized bill. I would have no reluctance recommending this practice (and, as it turns out, one of my friends who is marveling at my progress, decided to pull the trigger and get an appointment at the practice in early September to look at his wonky knee).
