Patient Reviews
Jul 06, 2026
Said re my carpal tunnel dx that he …”could not help me” when I asked how can I live with this numbness and weakness it was suggested I go to Yale because they had inter-professional team. Yale surgeon said it could be fixed with surgery!!! He was also belittling re my questions and most of my queries after visit had to go through someone else. He never spoke to me after a rude dismissal friend m his office.
