He listened to my issues and gave me recommendations on treatments. He was conservative with his recommendations and did not make it seem like I had to see him for another follow up, but could call and make an appointment if I felt like I needed the follow up. I greatly appreciate him.

I was nervous about meeting with a new doctor, but that nervousness went away immediately once we started chatting about my concerns with my hand and the approach we would take to make it better. I felt very comfortable talking to Dr. Hightower.
