Dr. Jeffrey Coppage, MD

My hand from my thumb to the palm was having issues from arthritis . I had a X-ray which confirmed I had mild arthritis so I was given a cortisone injection. My pain level has decreased.

Second time seeing him for an irritating trigger finger. (Different hands) he and his team were very thorough, explained my options, assured understanding and swiftly carried out the treatment.

He is a man devoid of feeling for others. During my procedure, which was done under Local anesthesia, I told him I could feel everything he was doing and it was incredibly painful. He did not stop, he just kept saying I am almost done, (for 10 min. I know because I watched the clock). The other personnel in the room kept asking him if he should stop to administer more local.... he kept saying he was almost done and I should just breathe through it, it being the feeling of him cutting through my ligament. He must of had a schedule to keep that was far more important than me. He never once acknowledged, apologized or explained to me what happened to cause me so much pain during the procedure. Six months later when I had to return to him due to new pain and weakness in the area I felt the pain during the procedure, he continues to refuse to address or acknowledge my concerns and pain. I have maybe 25% of the use of my hand than what I had prior to his hack job surgery and this Dr… could care less. Guess money and his time are way more important than his patients.

Very personable and friendly. Answered all questions in detail and provided a wealth of additional information. Luckily, my issue did not require surgery, so I can't comment on this area, but my experience with the office visit was first rate!
