Patients consistently praise Dr. Kimball for his exceptional surgical skills, compassionate care, and attentive communication, noting significant improvements in their conditions following his treatments. Many highlight his ability to explain procedures thoroughly and commend his friendly and professional demeanor, alongside a similarly commendable staff. However, some patients have expressed dissatisfaction with long wait times for appointments, issues with insurance acceptance, and experiences involving interactions primarily with trainees rather than Dr. Kimball himself. A few reviews mention unsuccessful procedures or continued pain, resulting in the need for additional interventions.

Dr. Kimball is a phenomenal orthopedic surgeon in addition to being an empathic, wonderful person! I am a Physician, and he recently operated on me for a fractured upper arm. I saw him in the office and was booked for surgery within days! He was kind, took plenty of time with me answering all my questions, and did a fantastic repair! I have already sent several of my Physician friends who have upper extremity orthopedic issues to see him! My pain was relieved immediately once he completed the repair, and he has been very attentive to me postoperatively as well! What a tremendously, talented orthopedic surgeon!

I went to visit for pain in my hand and wrist . The Dr was fast and didn’t use numbing spray prior to the injection . Other than that my hand and wrist are now pain free.

Dr. Kimball was kind and very patient. I visited him for a second opinion. He not only examined my hand and discussed options with me, but encouraged me to wait until next winter to have surgery if I felt that it was needed. He is a top notch doctor and came highly recommended to me as the best.

Dr. Kimball & his team timely diagnosed the issue I was having with my hand. And then applied appropriate procedures to fix the issue. After a short time, the hand issues are gone. A++!/

Have had excellent care with my carpel tunnel and elbow surgery. He is also willing to look at another doctor's mistake to try and help me. Doctor Kimball is very experienced, knowledgeable and friendly.

I saw Dr. Kimball for carpel tunnel release of the left hand and also trigger finger of the right middle finger, which was diagnosed and successfully treated with a cortisone shot in the office. The left carpel tunnel release healed quicker than a prior one done on the right hand. Dr Kimball was very personable/ professional in the office answering questions readily following a manual hand exam. Prior to surgery he also saw me answering questions. I was pleased with the outcome of the surgery with pain/ numbness/ tingling during the night resolving completely, immediately following the release. I will recommend his services to friends/ colleagues.
