    While I realize I didn't have a major injury, the orthopedic surgeon spent less than 3 minutes with me [redacted]. He didn't explain my fracture, limitations, appropriate activity and bracing. When, I asked questions, he gave one-word answers or looked at me like I am crazy for some weird reason. [redacted] he couldn't get rid of me quick enough. [redacted]

    Overall my experience was very good. But I asked for a referral to an at home visit by OT & a HHA since I have a fx'd R wrist- a referral for 'home care' was ordered so I was seen by an RN which I really didn't need. The RN had to then get an order for PT, OT & a HHA. It all worked out in the end but I really didn't need a visit by the nurse.

    Initially, I saw an assistant to Dr. Garg who asked me about my thumb problems and reviewed my medical history. She also did some testing on both thumbs and explained what her thoughts where on what was going on. She stated that she would discuss her findings with Dr. Garg . Dr Garg and his assistant came back shortly. He examined my thumbs and did testing before giving me his diagnosis. His recommendation was to give me cortisone injections in both thumbs. I agreed to the shots and asked if they could be done that day. Dr. Garg did an excellent job at explaining the procedure and what he was doing as he was doing it. Both he and his assistant did a great job!
