Waited for Two hours. no one said anything as to why the wait was so long. My time is very valuable, how long would the dr wait for me? What would happen if I was two hours late? I would not an appointment at all. I wanted to talk about surgery but all that was said was that the pain would get worse, dis I want to wait that long.

Dr. Favetto is, without question, the finest hand specialist in the world. From the moment I arrived, there was virtually no wait time, and the entire staff was exceptional—professional, attentive, and consistently outstanding. Dr. Favetto’s expertise, precision, and care are unmatched, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. I would recommend him without hesitation—100 out of 100 times.

Dr Favetto is amazing. He really cares about his patients and it definitely shows. He replaced my elbow 10 years ago from a bad fall. He was wonderful and so knowledgeable. After years of worsening pain in my arm, he diagnosed me with cervical stenosis. Even my general practitioner had not yet diagnosed this. Super impressed how knowledgeable Dr Favetto is and his concern for well being long after surgery is over! Highly recommend!!!!!!

Thanks you Dr. Favetto for examining my lacerated hand and giving me the best care & advice that probably saved me from making the wrong decision to have surgery. The physical therapy you recommend has help me regain movement in my hand and wrist. Thank you again and I would highly recommend Dr. Favetto should the need arise for some excellent care,

Dr. Favetto is warmly attentive and reassuring. He is an acknowledged leader in his field, and I am truly grateful to be in his care. I was given the opportunity to watch the surgery; Dr. Favetto was a marvelous tour-guide with a great sense of humor!

I don't feel as if Dr Favetto listened to me or my concerns. My PT and the PT that did my EMG both said one thing about my pain and Dr Favetto said something completely different. My second appointment with him, he didn't even touch my hand that was hurting. I would not see him again or recommend him to anyone.
