Dr. Chidgey was wonderful. He understood that I had had it with spending six months attempting to heal from dequervains and was finally ready for the surgery. He explained every part of the surgery, how long the stitches would be in and what I might experience during the healing process. I felt very good about his expertise and his thorough explanations.

Everyone was really nice to me
March 30, 2022
All information about my wrist condition and answer to my questions given me by the interning physician
was very good. When the supervising orthopedic doctor entered the room the expertise of years of
his outstanding work became apparent. Any concerns about my having re-injured my wrist were
erased with his knowledge of the prior healing process even with major amount of hardware involved. It was reassuring to know that no further treatment is necessary unless my health deteriorates and intense pain becomes immanent.
