Dr. Dykstra in my opinion is the best for hand surgery. He did both of mine and he is very thorough and very caring.

Dr Dykstra and staff were the best. Wait time was right on time and explanation of my injury and needs to repair was easy to understand and done in a very professional way. Dr Dykstra was not rushed and made my experience special. Jill, in scheduling, has made my pre surgery needs a breeze. Can’t thank you all enough for the efforts.

He was on time , and he answered all of my questions very thoroughly which I really appreciated. He was direct and clear which I really appreciated and I felt listened to and heard , which is a vital yet too often lacking experience in a physicians office.
