Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Retired, sadly

I used Dr. Siegel many times for upper extremity problems and surgery. He’s a great guy. Unfortunately for his patients but happily for him, he has now retired.

Phenomenal physician!
What a loss for our community to know that he has retired; but he so deserves it! Incredibly kind doctor matched with knowledge and skill is hard to find and he's got it all! I'm so grateful he was able to care for my hands (phenomenally better than the previous two physicians). Thank you, Dr Siegel for helping not only myself, but others that I would bring to you. You've positively impacted our lives forever. May God bless your new journeys.

Surgical Perfection
Dr. Siegel completed a rotator cuff and bicep tear repair 4 months ago and I am nearly pain-free with full range of motion. Work through the pain according to his instructions and you will get your arm back! He knows what he is doing.

Booked an appt with Dr. Siegel based on his positive reviews, He knew immediately what was causing my trigger fingers (medication I was taking) Gave me a shot in each hand and the issue cleared up for several months. May consider surgery as you can only have the shots 3 times. The office staff was friendly and professional. Call ahead because Dr. Siegel is booked months in advance!

I can't express how grateful I am for Dr. Siegel. I meet him after I suffered a horrible surgical complication to my dominant wrist/hand. He was not only kind, compassionate, and caring, but he did everything in his power to help heal me. I truly believe that I would not be able to function without him, quite literally. I would recommend him to anyone and have several times to my family, friends, and my own patients. Every visit I have with him is pleasant. I have felt so hopeless with the injury to my hand and he has changed my life. I am able to function almost entirely pain-free; I am able to lift weights again, care for my kids, wash dishes, fold laundry, put on eyeliner, and the list goes on. Thanks to Dr. Siegle I feel as though this complication is something that I can place in the past, and is not something that defines me.

While visiting AZ from MA I had an unfortunate bike accident sending me to the ER requiring subsequent surgery. I was not sure about my insurance coverage and did not like the reviews of the Ortho office recommended by the ER doctor. Called other offices for a couple of days with no luck (end of March, Covid-19 closings, did not accept my insurance, etc). Luckily for me, I called this office at 11:00am and they saw me at 1:00pm. Fortunately for me, it was with Dr. Siegel. Kind, caring and an outstanding surgeon. Barely a scar. Great staff. Highly recommend. Thank you!

I hand surgery for my carpal tunnel in June. Dr. Siegel was my physician. I would highly recommend him. He was informative, knowledgable, kind and he has years of experience as a surgeon. I trusted him. I feel like a new person no more pain. He reassured me that would happen.

I highly recommend Dr. Siegel for anyone with any type of elbow or hand issues. He is kind, caring, and was very thorough explaining my wrist, hand and elbow problems to me. All my problems resulted as a side effect of major Open Heart Surgery that I had 6 months ago. I should have had allot more padding under my elbow, so that major nerves would not have been harmed during the 6 hour surgery. I was told by my doctors/surgeons that this discomfort would all disappear with time, in other words, all areas of concern would ALL bounce back. Here I am 6 months later, and there is no improvement. Dr. Siegel gave me hope once again! Now, why can't we have more doctors with this super bedside manner, rather than those that treat us as a mere number on their daily patient list. I just had my surgery today, so hopefully the outcome will be as super as Dr. Siegel is! Thank you, Dr Siegel, for attempting to help me.

Flawless experience with Dr Seigel. I had both hands operated on (at different times) due to carpul tunnel issues. My fingers were going numb along with losing strength in my hands. I had the right hand fixed in March and all of the feeling has returned. I was able to travel and go to work 3 days after the surgery, no hand brace, just a band aid. No discomfort at all after a couple weeks. The doctor and his staff are very personable and professional and worked with me in scheduling the appointments and treatment. I had my second hand worked on yesterday. Same flawless procedure. I’m very happy with the whole experience, and was made to feel comfortable the whole time. The entire procedure, from check in to exit was only a couple hours. Dr Seigel and his staff are a rare find, and I would recommend them to anyone !

Extremely competent. Takes time to explain everything to patient. When my husband had a little post-op bleeding, Dr. Siegel called me and walked me through managing the bleeding and called again a couple of hours later to check the status. Extremely kind and caring.

Dr. Seigel repaired damage done to my hand by another doctor. He also did carpal tunnel surgery on my other hand. He actually, the first time I met him, LOOKED AT my medical records and questioned certain meds, which had nothing to do with his procedure. Several of my friends also go to him. He does not recommend surgery you don't need. He explains everything, in layman details, reasons, x rays, and procedures. I have never had to wait at his office. He is always pleasant.

Dr. Siegel is an excellent surgeon. He explains the procedure thoroughly and answers all questions. He's a true professional. He is operated on my fingers a number of times as the arthritis spreads to new fingers. I had other hand surgeries by other surgeons and Dr. Siegel fixed what they did incorrectly. I would not go to another hand surgeon. He is the BEST!
