HIGHLY recommend. Should be your only stop for hand surgery. The care, responsiveness and competence is amazing. For the first time ever I have no improvement comments. That tells you something.

Got me in as a new patient so quickly after breaking his wrist! Got me into surgery within a few days. Surgery went smoothly and recovery is going great. Very personable and knowledgeable.

I was referred to Dr. Mehlhoff by another physician to examine my painful wrist and hands. He sat down and reviewed the x-rays with me. His sincerity and kindness was evident in his words and mannerisms. He first said that my aches would not require surgery, for which I was grateful. He demonstrated hand strengthening exercises and then closely watched as I tried to mimic them, and if I ever do need hand surgery, he will be my first choice. If I’m asked to recommend an orthopedic surgeon, I will give a glowing recommendation for him and for his excellent staff.

Dr. Thomas Melhoff was so nice and personable! I went into his office right on the time of my appointment (which is never heard of)! He was thorough in explaining the upcoming surgery and made me feel at ease with his experience!
