Hear What Patients Say About Us
Last December, I had to go to the ER at Capital Health due to a fractured hand. Upon discharge and confirmation that I would need surgery as soon as possible, they referred me to Dr. Tsai. I had to do some research on him and was impressed by his credentials, so I had high confidence that I’ll be fine. When I met him the first time, he patiently explained the different options that they may perform to “fix” my hand. His attendant was also accommodating in providing information about what to expect before, during, and after the medical procedure. My surgery went without any problems, and I am very impressed with the applied surgical technique. He did mention that his approach will quicken the healing process to about a few weeks compared to months when doing the “usual” way. Five weeks after my surgery, I was cleared of any physical restrictions and was back doing activities as if I didn’t break any bone, thanks to Dr. Tsai’s expertise.

I really recommend Dr. Iyer. He genuinely care[s] for his patients. Thank you so much, Dr. Iyer [for] helping me. Very knowlegable doctor. Help[ed] me a lot to regain my motion. Broke my elbow and had surgery in India about 6 months ago. I lost 90% of palm up and palm down motion due to surgery in my elbow within 1 month. After visiting him, he found out that pins were blocking my motion. He performed surgery [to] remove pins. He helped me get my motion back about 95% within 2 months after having 2nd surgery. Explain[ed] really well how he is going to operate on me. He guided me [with] correct exercises I needed. He inspired me to regain my motion, [kept] track of my all progress with my therapist. His staff is really friendly and helped me with all paperwork I needed for work.

I was treated by Dr. Shah this past April for an injured index finger.I had long neglected this injury and now the finger was extremely swollen, painful, and non-functioning. Dr. Shah diagnosed the injury with confidence , patience and precision and prescribed a course of physical therapy. In one consultation I went from total despair to a sense that my injury was treatable without major surgery. The physical therapy was at times quite painful as he predicted. However within six weeks I was well on the road to recovery. I have only gratitude and respect for Dr. Shah and his staff

I’ll start by saying Dr. Ajul Shah is a surgical genius and wonderful person! I broke my 4th metacarpal bone in 3 places in my right hand during handstand walking in a CrossFit competition. Not only was I tremendously concerned about returning to working out, but was in fear of even just normal hand usage. Dr. Shah’s supreme surgical skill has enabled me to get back to doing handstand push ups, pull ups, lifting, and successfully competing! He also provided me with the most highly skilled Occupational Therapist. They were an amazing team focused on my health and healing. Even more important is his personality – he gets to know you as a person, not a patient. He truly cares. He’s in constant communication, thoroughly explains everything, and makes himself accessible for any question, concern, and even appreciated when I would share my workout videos!

Dr. Ferro has excellent bedside care and attentiveness to her patients! Makes you feel very comfortable! Listens intently and will not rush you. I have had nerve blocks and steroid injections before several times; but my experience with Dr. Ferro by far has been the best experience and best results!

My daughter saw Dr Rabinowitz in the ER for an amputated finger injury she sustained in school. He was excellent. His bedside manner and level of expertise was outstanding. She had several follow up visits at his office and he was very patient, attentive and reassuring throughout the whole process. I am grateful he was able to care for my daughter during this stressful time. He is an excellent surgeon and kind person.

From my very first consultation to my post op visits Dr Peter and his staff made me feel secure and comfortable. They took their time to explain everything to me. From working with the insurance company to answering my questions and concerns. Super super friendly staff both in office and surgery center. I would definitely be recommending this place to anyone I know who needs a plastic surgeon. Thank you all for being caring, considerate and super understanding. The best place ever!!!!!

When I first met Dr. Yazid, he put his hand I out to shake mine, and that was it. Rarely nowadays do doctors to that. He is straight up, matter of fact and very informative on what he is going to do. Wonderful bedside manner and whitey sense of humor. At my post operative visit he could see I was, well, scared and extremely anxious. Again, he was kind, caring, compassionate and listened to what I had to say. His skill as a reconstructive surgeon is amazing. I will be seeing him again for additional procedures. I am very pleased he was referred to me by my orthopedic/trauma physician.

Dr. Yazid is an awesome Doctor and a definite credit to his profession. He took the time to explain the procedure and answer all my questions. I am very happy with the surgery he performed and would totally recommend him to anyone who wants a intelligent, caring Doctor.

One of the best doctors I have ever met in my Life. I recently had few visits with Dr. Yazid with my mom, and every time I saw him he was very passionate, Caring, professional and very detailed about any procedures you might need to go through. Not like some of today’s Doctors that all they try to do is rush you and go to the next patient. The rest of the office staff are excellent as well. Office is always neat and Clean.
