    I was diagnosed with Dupuytren's contracture by Dr. Verheyden, presenting as a minor condition in…read moremy pinky finger. He recommended an injection treatment. During the procedure, he identified what he described as an additional "flat node" in my ring finger and suggested injecting that as well, which I agreed to. Ten days after the procedure, I experienced what I believed to be a rupture in my ring finger. Dr. Verheyden assessed the symptoms as part of the normal healing process. After three follow-up appointments with the same assessment, I sought an MRI, which revealed complete ruptures of the A2, A3, and A4 pulley tendons in my ring finger, as well as a complete rupture of the A2 pulley in my pinky finger. I subsequently required reconstructive surgery on the A2 pulleys in both fingers, using a graft from my palmaris longus tendon. Since the surgery, I have experienced approximately 50% reduced grip strength, limited flexion in my ring finger, and ongoing pain.

    He may be a good surgeon and may have done a good job, but he had his PA stitch me closed following…read morea CMC for arthritis and the PA snagged a nerve in the process. I woke up in recovery in horrible pain which has never gone away. I've complained about the pain to his office many times and I'm just told to give it time. So like I said, he may be a good surgeon. And maybe if he had stitched me closed, none of this would be an issue. It's been 6 months since my surgery and I'm in just as much pain as before the procedure. My hand is swollen and clearly something is very wrong. What has been most upsetting is the fact that he refuses to look at my hand to see what can be done to alleviate the pain. What kind of surgeon refuses to look at something when the patient complains about pain?!?

    Dr. Su and his staff are absolutely tops in my book. From the friendly office personnel to the…read moreprofessionalism of his attending nurses and support people, this is a 'client-centered' operation. Dr. Su's nearly 40 years of experience show in the quick, knowledgeable and efficient way he handles his patient's needs and his attentiveness to their needs and issues. His knowledge and use of Homeopathic treatments is well-informed and spot-on. I believe that they have contributed greatly to my marked improvement in a relatively short time! I can't say that I'm happy to need his services, but I can, and do, say: "I'm so happy to have found this practice!

    This is just my experience. I've never left a review like this, but I've also never had an…read moreexperience with a doctor like this. I made an appointment to see Dr. Su. I was seen by Dr. Jackson who said Dr. Su would "probably pop in." I came in for treatment for a neuroma that I've had for 13 years; the standard care is injections of steroid to reduce inflammation. Dr. Su did indeed pop in, and advocated for a series of injections of a homeopathic treatment for the neuroma, before starting injections of steroid. I'd asked about efficacy of the homeopathic treatment; he said 98% see benefit... I wonder how that can be true when the standard treatment, based on my googling, is only about 67% effective. He then told Dr. Jackson that I also have a stress fracture in the same foot. Dr. Jackson used a tuning fork-type device to demonstrate the fracture, but I felt nothing. Dr. Su took took over and tried again, but I still felt nothing. Dr. Su then took my foot and pressed very hard on the spot -- and then I felt it. Since then, it's continued to hurt, and I wonder if he made it worse. As he left the room, Dr. Su said, "Put her in a boot." The boot has made the neuroma pain significantly worse to the point where I'm now not able to walk without excruciating pain. This is far worse than I was when I came in. I don't know what was injected. I don't know if they mixed it themselves. But it hasn't helped. On the Friday after my appointment, I called Dr. Su's office to cancel my upcoming biweekly appointment for another injection, and asked that they send my x rays to a new provider. No one answered the phone; I left a message. I called my new provider right after, at 3:21pm on a Friday, and there was a real person there to help me schedule an appointment. What bothers me even more than the ill-defined injection of stuff that didn't help is the fact that I made an appointment with Dr. Su, but I was seen by Dr. Jackson and then Dr. Su. I wonder if they will be charging me for two doctors' time. My feeling is that Dr. Jackson is a nice guy who needs to find another practice to be part of, and Dr. Su was mostly focused on sales. I was told I had to have a huge pneumatic book for the stress fracture that went all the way up to my knee, and they tried to sell me a cream, and orthotic shoes. I'm not saying they're bad doctors. I'm saying I didn't get my medical needs met. Dr. Su during the appointment asked an assistant about an "insurance check" and was told that I had a $1200 deductible to meet.... He later said I've pretty much met that deductible. With this one visit. I guess that opens the door to unlimited injections. About the injections: Dr. Su said he uses them himself and they've worked for him. That may be true. They may be the most effective treatment out there. But it doesn't appear that there's any evidence of that, except Dr. Su's anecdotal experience. For my money, I'd rather have the standard, researched treatment of steroid injections.
