Dr. Skoff is extremely rude and has no respect for his patients. Upon meeting Dr Skoff, he without consent ripped my hat off my head and put a second mask on my face. Furthermore, while talking with Dr. Skoff about my condition and previous medical visits, he was extremely rude. He was not patient and got irritated when I had trouble recalling the specific dates of previous medical visits. Overall Dr. Skoff is an extremely unprofessional and rude doctor. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

I recomend doctor Skoff as the best hand surgery. Acknowledge and with 40 years of experience in shoulder, hand and elbow surgery. God bless doctor Hillel Skoff.... Rafael Gonzalez/ Boston, MA.

I wanted to get a second opinion about having surgery for both hands/thumb joints. The first Dr. I saw urged me to have surgery and I felt like I needed have another option or be able to put it off until I had time for the recovery phase. I was referred to Dr. Skoff by a friend and he said I did not need to have surgery just yet. I was so relieved when he said I could wait for another year. He gave me an injection in both joints (which really relieved the pain). I was given wrist/hand braces that has been very helpful. Also, I adore the office coordinators, Donna and Michelle. It's always a pleasure speaking with them.

I saw several other hand surgeons before I saw Dr. Skoff. He was able to diagnose and alleviate my pain. He is a creative thinker and problem solver. I would give him the highest recommendation!

Shoulder surgery 2007, wrist surgery 2010.Dr. Skoff did the second surgery on my shoulder after the first ( by another surgeon in 2004) failed to elliviate my symptoms. I now have a full functioning shoulder. Wrist surgery went just as well. Office Staff are fantastic and very compassionate. Great experiences. Highly recommended
