The doctor explained my present hand situations and what can and can't be done to get the mobility I had hoped for in the future, but thanks for his honesty! I think moving forward I will see if Cuba has some hand options that will get the mobility I want!

I was both pleased and impressed with Dr Ghareeb. His exam was methodical and thorough, he didn't appear to jumper to any conclusions regarding my diagnosis, but based everything on his good exam. He was very kind, warm and personable. I wasn't expecting to need surgery, but I'll be very comfortable with him as my surgeon. All of his support staff was terrific as well.
