Patients frequently express satisfaction with Dr. Robert Daniel Mastey, highlighting his caring nature, thoroughness, and professionalism. Many commend his surgical skills, particularly in hand and rotator cuff procedures, and appreciate his humor, attentiveness to pain management, and detailed explanations of treatments. However, some negative feedback mentions issues with repeated information at visits, a perceived lack of control in the operating room, and an instance of condescension and defensiveness, which were concerning to a patient. Overall, while most feedback is positive, a few experiences suggest room for improvement in communication and bedside manner.

Dr. Robert Mastey treated my trigger finger. ?? My first visit, I received a shot in my hand which relieved some of the stress in my hand. I was instructed to have hand therapy. I had my last visit with Dr. Master six weeks, later. I am delighted to report my finger no longer Is painful. I received a tumb brace to assist my hand when I need it. I would recommend Dr. Mastey to anyone who needs expedited, professional, and compassionate treatment. No pain, no gain. I'm satisfied.?? Thank you doctor for my sensitive surprising handcare advice and treatment. May the Lord bless Dr. Mastey. RA .

Dr. Mastey and his staff have been excellent. Dr. Mastey did a rotator cuff repair on me and everything went well. He is also very attentive about the pain management and the physical therapy. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

May need to retire. Repeats the exact same info at every visit. Condescending. Does not have control over his OR. While I was sedated, I was severely injured. He demonstrated no remorse, only defensiveness. He appears not to like to work with the anyone unlike himself.
