Comments: My 5 years of constant pain and injections was changed the minute I found Dr. John .... when I read her education and training I was so impressed and then I met her !! She really wanted to help me .. to improve my quality of life ... not to just operate!! I am 5 days post op CMC thumb surgery... I had little to minimal pain ... I'm not saying it's easy having my hand splinted.... but I have no doubts as to my outcome ... and she is the most educated trained Dr I have ever met .... she is a true gift to have as my Dr... I can't express how lucky I feel to have Dr John!!
