I have used Dr C twice now for my carpal tunnel, and other hand problems. Best Dr around in my book. Very caring, very knowledgeable too. He did a great job on my hand operation. If I ever need a hand doctor again he would be number one on my list.

Dr. Christoforou is very experienced and knowledgeable. He is also very honest and won’t recommend a surgery if not needed. He is also very caring and compassionate.

Dr. Christoforou is everything that you could hope for in a doctor. From the moment I met the doctor, I was at ease. His passion and care for his patients is unmatched. I had seen the doctor after a glass laceration to my wrist. I had outpatient exploratory wrist surgery at St. Catherine of Sienna Hospital. The entire process, for someone who never had surgery before, was everything you could hope to have. I was in and out after a number of hours. After the surgery, the Dr. had met with my fiancee in the lobby and explained in detail what he had repaired, taking his time. I would recommend the doctor to anyone I know, and I would be confident in the care that they would receive. It's individuals like Dr. Dimitrios Christoforou that are a shining light in a dreary healthcare system.

Dr Christoforou has the kindness, compassion and empathy compounded with competency that makes him what everyone would want for a doctor. They don't come any better than him.

Diagnosed my problem(s) efficiently. Very pleasant doctor. Had to give me a shot in my most medial thumb joint...NOT a needle person here. He took care that I didn't feel a thing. Quite happy with that.
