Dr. Christoforou is skillful, knowledgeable, and respectful. He is a top surgeon with good character that patients can trust. He is kind and patient to ensure everything is covered and clearly communicated, although he has many patients waiting to see him. The office is highly organized and well managed. I highly appreciate and respect his professionalism.

Dr. Christofourou is an excellent doctor and surgeon. My husband and I had ulnar and carpal tunnel surgeries in the past couple of years. Although the scare of COVID was everywhere, we proceeded with the much needed and successful surgeries. Dr Christofourou guided us through the surgeries and recoveries with his expertise. Medicine and humanity is lucky to have him in the practice of healing. Thank you Dr.Christofourou. We highly recommend him to anyone and everyone that requires his expert talent in his field.

I’m 11 and fractured my finger playing softball. Dr.Cristoforou is awesome. Surgery was pretty scary but he helped to calm my nerves (and my parents). He is so nice too. Thank you Dr. Cristoforou.

Dr. Christofou was thorough and listened to the issues I am having with my wrists. He was professional and made sure I understood the information he was trying to get across. Being that my wrists have been an ongoing issue, I chose my hand specialist very carefully. Dr. Christoforou came highly recommended, and I was not disappointed.

Dr.Christoforou is a wonderful hand doctor. I have had 4 surgery’s with him. One sugery with him was my ulnar nerve at my elbow. The EMG test came back ok. But dr. Christoforou went ahead with the surgery thank god because the ulnar nerve was being crushed and the nerve was dying. If it was another doctor they may have not done the surgery and I would have lost function of my arm and hand. He is one great doctor and is always very nice to me. If you need a good hand doctor please see Dr. Christoforou. HE IS THE BEST.

Dr. Christoforou, is wonderful to deal with. He takes the the time to explain your current condition and what you should expect through your recovery.
His office staff makes sure you are screened for COVID-19 before you enter facility.
I rate the location, high on safety and care.

I love Dr. Christoforou!! He is highly educated, and current with new procedures, and highly energetic! He truly loves what he does, and it shows! He has excellent bedside manner, in and out of the hospital. He is sympathetic and caring.He has done multiple injections in my arthritic hands, carpal tunnel release, dequervains tenosynovitis release. He is always very thorough, very explanatory, and genuinely listens to any any all concerns, no matter how big or small. I have recommended many of my friends and they have had similar experiences. Go to him! You will not be disappointed!

He performed surgery on my extensor tendon in my left ring finger after I'd sliced through it with a bandsaw, and did an incredible job. Also recommended me to a fantastic physical therapist (CJ Hand Therapy), and I was back to normal in about 2-3 months from surgery. He was also great with answering questions and explaining the procedure and limitations after surgery. Overall, an extraordinarily personable and skilled doctor.

I met Dr Christoforou for the first time after being brought to the emergency room 7/28/17. I had a very bad hand accident. A blender malfunctioned and came apart. The blade on the machine shredded my hand. Tendons and nerves were severed in multiple places. Dr. C. and his excellent team spent 6.5 hours rebuilding my hand. Before I went into surgery he looked at me and reassured me that I was going to be ok. I have seen the Dr. multiple times since the surgery. My hand has full function!
