Wonderful Surgeon. Would ask for him again for all my hand aches and pains. This is his third set of surgeries on me. (Both thumb joints and some trigger finger issues. Caring and knowledgeable with a good personality. Staff was also very pleasant to work with. Definitely would highly recommend.

He’s great - too bad I can’t get the test done at the same time as seeing the provider- I have to take work off again. I bet this 10 min consult costs about $300 - not his fault though

Great surgeon that fixed one of my thumbs several years ago and is now going to fix the other one. Very pleasant 'down to earth' personality. Would highly recommend him.

I was seen for elbow pain. I seen the doctor for maybe 3 mins. The whole appointment was mostly with his assistant. I was not pleased with either one of their bedside manners.

Scars are not even noticeable, however hands are worse than before surgeries. Dr Widstrom offered me cortisone shots for pain. I expected no pain after healing process. He has no answers for me.

I started my journey last year and ended needing surgery this May, I am so happy with the outcome, Dr. Windstorm and his staff always made me feel like a top priority and not just another person.
