If I was writing by how I’m feeling at the moment I would’ve given them a one star, but as annoyed as I am I need to be fair and give them what they deserve. The doctor therapists and aids are so sweet, friendly, patient, professional, and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed every appointment, it’s like going to a friends house and just chitchatting well taking care of a medical issue that needs to be tended to. The reason for my frustration is that I planned my appointments around the factthat I am starting a new job and I would like to have this taken care of before I start. I made it very clear to my therapist several days ago when she checked to see if there is an appointment available this morning because I was seeing my other Doctor Who needed the results by 2 PM my appointment time, and she reassured me that that wasn’t a problem and it would be there. I got to my second doctors appointment and no progress reports were sent so I called the office, I was told to just tell my doctor that it’s the same and I need surgery, I felt a little confused because that was the whole point of going to therapy so that he could get an opinion after my therapy to see if he needs to proceed with surgery. Unfortunately that did not happen so now I’m waiting in the wins and will be starting my job on Monday most likely before I could get any kind of resolution and it’s very frustrating considering I started this whole process last October to make sure that if I did need surgery it would all be taken care of before I started looking for jobs and now here we are. Oh well maybe if I wasn’t so organized it would’ve worked out differently, I really feel like communication is the best way to go if you want something accomplished properly and in a timely manner, but this time I guess it just didn’t work. Regardless yes I would choose to go to this location again and yes everything else there was perfect!!!

I broke my left wrist so I had surgery and a plate was installed.

I had no practical use of my hand, it hurt constantly, and I was out of work for a year.

My doctor said I should get used to the fact that my hand would never be the same again. A life with constant pain? A life without playing the violin? It depressed the hell out of me.

But then I had the good fortune of going to Hands On Care.

After a long and demanding period of therapy, I now have the full use of my hand.  Once again I can play music. I can take a shower and button my shirt just as before and with no pain.

My case was a tough one and I strongly believe if I had gone to simply a good therapist instead of a great one, I’d still have no use of my hand, or limited use at best. But I have a great therapist. She’s probably the best in Northern California.

She is extraordinarily skilled and professional.

I’m convinced that because I went to her instead of somebody else, I can now use my hand again.
