Surgery visit
The entire staff at the surgery center were outstanding. Dr. Talsania took the time to fully review my procedure and evaluated and added a much needed trigger finger surgery to two of my fingers on the same hand that was being worked on that day.

Knowledgeable, professional, and highly skilled.
I found Dr. Talasania through other doctors who lauded his expertise. I've dealt with him several times, and not only is it always a pleasant experience talking to him, he corrects my painful osteoarthritis using injections in a quick and painless way. I highly recommend him to anyone experiencing issues with their hands.

Arthritis in my left thumb
Saw Dr. Talsania as scheduled, less than a 5 min wait... Took me in his exam room and asked me what the problem is, and I told him where I hurt and after he examined me and stated I have a buildup of arthritis in the bottom joint in my left thumb... The Doctor asked me if I wanted an injection which I stated yes to, it was a little uncomfortable, but by the time I got out of the office to the parking lot the pain was 95% gone... I've been seeing Dr. Talsania since 2000 after a work-related injury where the doctor moved an Ulnar Nerve on my right arm and haven't seen him until this started... I think he is the best and most likable Hand Surgeon you could ever, if needed to go to... I have a heard nothing but top of the line good things from other people I know or other people who have had the opportunity to have him for their doctor, in my humble opinion, He is the best and I do very highly recommend him... God bless you Dr. Talsania, Pastor Mike....

He is the best!
I have been under Dr. Talsania's care for 11 years with 10 surgeries, and the experience has been great. He is not only a great surgeon, but he is warm and caring which helps a lot when I am hurting. Sometimes I have to spend a lot of time in the waiting room to see him, but he is definitely worth the wait!

Dr. Talsania is a true professional. He has treated my hand and operated on my elbow (ulnar relocation). Dr. Talsania is experienced and offered valuable alternatives for treatment - he presents the options clearly and I value that.
