Dr. Kitay performed my carpal tunnel surgery. I followed all of his post-op weight restrictions for the required times and had excellent results. I now have no wrist pain or numbness in my hand.

Dr. Kitay did a finger reconstruction after amputation. He explained every step of the process in an easy to understand way. Every question was answered completely. I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Kitay and the outcome of the procedure. He saved as much of what remained of my finger as possible so it would still be useful. He gets my highest recommendation and would recommend to everyone I know.

Extremely professional, highly effective. I felt listened to as a patient and I feel brand new after a dirt bike wreck. I would highly recommend him for anything you need from the hand to the elbow.

The entire operation is very efficient, I like being able to do my paperwork online before I check in, which makes that process much easier. Would be nice if it allowed me to pay my co-pay at the same time. The doctors are great, they listen and I feel like I’m in very capable hands.
