Before I went see him for the first time, someone told me that my hand would be a good hands. Once I met him and he listened to my concerns and he explained everything thoroughly as far as what treatments were available, I felt that that was the most accurate statement ever. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. John’s team was top notch. From check in to check out, the staff was very helpful, compassionate and had great interactions with my 7 year old. Dr. John himself took time to diagnose, treat, listen and even adjusted his treatment for a very active kid to ensure the healing process was successful. Wait times varied with some being quicker than others, but overall was not bad.

Always a personalized approach to my treatment plan. He took time to clearly outline my options, discussed the pros and cons, and made sure I felt comfortable with the next steps.

A great visit as expected, kind, friendly and very informative. My wait time was a little longer than usual, but that can be expected when seeing a surgeon. With the expansion of the waiting area, it seems to be a little loud and cramped. Elbow to elbow seating.

Dr. Hildenbrand is top notch! He is kind, patient, personable, and is able to describe his medical findings with ease and clarity. I also observed his interactions with elderly patients in passing and his respectful, peaceful nature was refreshing. Nothing about the visit felt rushed or bothersome. He is extremely thorough. I highly recommend his services.

The check in process is a waiting experience. Dr Hildenbrand was very knowlegable in what was going on with my hands and wrist. The nurses who assisted in my first treatment was very precise and explained how to use the hand brace that was given to me to wear.
