Dr. Garon is a wonderful doctor. The wait times in his office are short, but somehow I never feel rushed. He truly cares for his patients, and I will recommend him to anyone with hand issues.

Dr. Garon did surgery on my hand. I couldn't be more pleased. After surgery, I never had the first pain. My issues are gone (I'm currently 2 months post-surgery). His skill is equaled by his kindness. And the staff is simply amazing. Really great experience all the way around, from the initial visit to the follow-up. I highly recommend Dr. Garon.

Dr Garon is a God send! I have had hand pain for over 7 years in both hands. After having CMC Joint Removal and Carpal Tunnel surgery on both hands, I can finally say I am pain free! Dr Garon and his staff are amazing and so caring for your every need. I was never worried about what was next because they had it already taken care of for me. Dr Garon is the so professional how he handles himself ensuring that you are healed up correctly. Thanks Dr Garon-you helped change my life!

Dr. Garon and his staff all get 5 stars! If you ever need a hand specialist, I highly recommend Dr. Garon and the Bone and Joint clinic in Baton Rouge. Trigger finger surgery was a total success and healing process terrific with little to no pain!
