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.

He has provided excellent services in doing surgeries and cortisone injections for my trigger fingers. 2 injections and 2 separate surgeries on 3 different trigger fingers. He has a friendly and caring personality as well as being an excellent hand surgeon.

Dr Umanski is an excellent surgeon. He has performed carpal tunnel surgery on both hands with great success. He has a great bed side manner. Have recommended him several times. If you are in need of a hand specialist he is definitely the doctor you need. Thank you Dr Umanski for fine care & relief you have given me.

I am a guitar player and I have had numerous surgeries on my hands and wrists for carpal tunnel and trigger finger, all performed by Dr. Umansky. From scheduling to post op, my experience has been nothing short of exemplary. Very friendly and helpful staff. No long waiting. Dr. Umansky is super friendly and professional and he is an outstanding surgeon. Best of all, he has enabled me to keep doing what I love to do.

I could not be happier about my experience with Dr Umanski. After going through two years of pain in my wrist after a fracture, he quickly identified the source, and recommended surgery as the best solution, after having undergone all other options. i have had the surgery, and am very close to being pain free. I always felt my concerns were being heard and my questions answered, including the reply to an email i sent being received in less than 24 hours. Thank you Dr Umanski!!
