Dr Clingman is the best hand surgeon in New Hampshire. He takes time to sit face to face with his patients and listen to them. He explains exactly what your diagnosis is as well as your options. Highly recommend.

Waiting weeks to schedule surgery, with no idea if they schedule weeks, or many months ahead is a nightmare. I have a busy schedule and am inconveniencing others because I can't give them a date. I've had many surgeries, and never experienced anything like the prolonged, complicated process they have for scheduling surgery. And it doesn't seem to bother them. This ads to the stress of pain and inability to function I'm already dealing with.

I have never been a fan of doctors. I busted my right arm severly and every doctor wanted to amputate the arm. Dr. Clingman made no promises but put my arm back together and saw me consistently for over three years. I would recommend Dr Clingman to anyone who needs surgery on and arm or hand, he is the best.

I have been seeing Dr. Clingman for 5-6 years and would highly recommend him. I have been to a few hand specialists that have not been able to help me but he has. He is not just knowledgeable, he also has an excellent bed side manner and truly cares about his patients. Someone recommended Dr. Clingman to me because he had a wrist disorder that multiple providers could resolve. Dr. Clingman figured out what was wrong and fixed it surgically.
