Even though it was late on a Friday afternoon, Patzer was full of energy and gave me his full attention. He explained clearly what was going on with my hand, and what my treatment options were. He asked me if I had any questions and genuinely seemed to care.

Excellent discussion of options and risks. Out of almost 2 dozen injections for trigger finger in the past 15+ years this was the least painful.

Dan is very personable. He ensures to provide information on various treatments and does not pressure you to chose one you may not be comfortable with. He clearly explains what is happening within the body that is resulting in the symptoms you are experiencing. He is one I have come to trust and appreciate how he operates as a physician- one who is not cold with his patients and one who remembers you. That matters to me just as much as anything he may do or say to help alleviate my discomfort or pain.
