This was a follow up after an Ora clinic visit. Dr. Vongillern diagnosed my problem right away and gave me several options for treatment. He performed a treatment, and I’ll see him again in a month to see if it has helped.

Dr VonGillern is a amazing Dr. He has done 4 surgeries on my hands and it has healed perfectly ahead of expected time. I’m always so happy to see him because he has taken away all the pain in my hands. I highly recommend Dr. VonGillern for any painful hands. I would rate him Best in Quad Cities for sure!

I have worked with Dr. VonGillern as a consultant for many years and have the utmost respect for his treatment of hand conditions, so I chose him to treat the arthritis in my own hands. He did a tendon release for a trigger finger under local anaesthesia (my choice) in 2019, and I will have 2 more done on my other hand. He is easy to talk to and explains everything well in addition to being a very competent surgeon.
