Dr. Satoru Theodore Chamberlain, MD

I’m very grateful for Dr. Chamberlain and his staff. They have been super helpful and friendly. I highly recommend him. He explains your surgery in great detail and everything afterwards. He’s an excellent surgeon and I’m extremely happy that he did my surgery.

I’ve been very happy with the outcome of my surgery to my right thumb. Dr. Chamberlain is very pleasant and attentive during the office visits. He listens and describes the situation with my thumb very thoroughly. He gives me verbal instruction on aftercare of my hand and a home exercise program for me to follow. I definitely would recommend him to anyone else.

After about two years I can confirm his surgery was successful however his communication was poor and his staff were even worst. I knew generally what the plan was, but we were not exactly sure what the surgery would be. By the time of my first four PT appointments they had still not received the details of my surgery. The directions I was send home with were different from the verbal ones I had received leaving confusion to what I should be doing and what I could do. His staff were very short with me and never very helpful. I never received a follow up call from him only his staff who could not answer my questions.

Very quiet, don't know how to read him, very busy man,didn't seem like he wanted me to ask many questions, but was nice and seemed knowledge able, not a chatty Cathy for sureð???

I had total confidence in Dr. Chamberlaine and felt he was very thorough in explaining my surgery to me. He is an excellent doctor.

several surgeries with dr Chamber;ain to fix wornout bits. Feel much better now

I have read that the experience in scheduling has been poor for others and I agree; it can be. BUT I also know from many years of experience that everyone involved does the best with what they have to work with! Many reasons effect this issue but the number one reason for this also speaks volumes for the quality. The numbers of patients seen is staggering, simply because the quality of care is beyond excellent. As a patient I recommend having patients because if you want the best, you will understand you are not the only one in the universe and a few glitches are nothing to get the best! I for one have learned to laugh about it all because the whole crew treats you like family and that helps one to see how it can happen and be understanding. And Dr. Chamberlain, special thanks from someone who knows I wouldn't have use of my right hand if it weren't for you! Words are not enough!

I spent 45 minutes in the lobby. When he finally came in, he didn't seem to be able to grasp the sequence of events that had brought me to him, but perhaps he was hurried from being late with patients. He promised that an appointment would be made for me for another specialist, that didn't happen. Two weeks later, I called to inquire. the nurse said she would handle it. Nothing happened for another 3 days, I called again. Nothing happened again for another week, I moved on to another doctor who has been great. Finally, after 4 weeks I got a call to schedule physical therapy! For what? I hadn't even received any surgery, or required prerequisite diagnosis! I can forgive one mistake, but not 5! Avoid, and find better.
