I look forward to seeing Dr. Salzer when I have a trigger finger problem because I have never had to return for surgery. His technique has worked every time over the years! He is always personable and thoroughly explains the problShow moreem and the treatment avenues. I appreciate that he lets me offer my desire for treatment and if he does not concur he explains why. Even though I have had repeated exposure to the two stages of the injection (the initial needle insertion and then the final needle placement to restore tendon motion), I rely on Dr. Salzer to tell me what he is doing so I can mentally prepare for the excruciating pain that is about to come!
DR. SALZER is the best around. I travel one hour to be in his care and it's worth the trip. He and his staff are caring and professional. I was told I n needed back surgery. He said no I need PT. I did the PT Therpy and here 24 yShow moreears plus , no surgery at 81 years young. Dr.SALTZAR is the best of the best. D Nettles
