The best hand surgeon
I knew from talking with people who had experience with Dr. Trumble that he would be the best choice for my hand surgery and it turned out that I was right.  I don't think I could have done any better with anyone else and it could have easily have been much worse because of the involvement of the nerve and because the course of action was not straightforward without first surgically opening the site to determine the course of action.  Dr. Trumble clearly has the knowledge, expertise, experience, critical-thinking and ability for rapid decision-making and information processing needed for my situation.   I play the piano at a high level and the function of my hands to allow me to continue to play the piano at a high level is extremely important to me.Although healing isn't yet complete, it appears that I will recover complete function of my hand.  Instrumental in recovery were his hand therapists who were all excellent and his office staff who keep things organized and efficient.

For me, Dr. TRUMBLE is a great professional. When I first arrived at his clinic, he made me feel important. He did studies before making a diagnosis, and on the day of my surgery, he explained to my wife all the procedure that I was going to do. and he himself gave him his personal number so that my wife could ask him anything about my surgery, don't hesitate to go to his CLINIC, you will have a great experience.

Incredible Doc
A number of years ago after fracturing my wrist years I later developed pain on the outside of the wrist. I had seen other orthopedists but, it was doctor Trumble who diagnosed and then surgically repaired a TCFF tear. I haven’t had a problem since!! Even though I now live in another state I would travel to WA to see him if I had another hand/wrist problem!

Outstanding Hand Surgeon
Dr Trumble and his PAs and medical assistants never fail to pay close attention to a patient’s concerns & needs and to follow up accordingly with comprehensive assessments and all the diagnostic tools at their disposal. I’m having recurrent scar-tissue related hand disabilities after 2 finger joint surgeries, and Dr Trumble has advised me on all the possible corrective procedures which could help resolve my issues. I have agreed to having another surgery and have every faith that Dr Trumble will do his absolute best to fix my problematic finger.

A friend of mine spoke very highly about Dr. Trumble as her hand surgeon, so when I needed surgery on my right hand I chose him. I was not disappointed. He expresses great care and clearly explains his diagnosis and recommended treatment. He takes time to answer all questions. I am very pleased with the outcome of my surgery and should the need arise I would seek out his services for any other hand surgery.

The best of the best
I cannot say enough positive thing about Dr. Trumble. He is an incredibly talented and caring practitioner. After 20+ years of pain and countless visits to specialists, Dr. Trumble was the only doctor who took the time to figure out what was going on with me, which was multiple issues, and then went the extra mile to make sure he removed a problematic screw from a previous surgery (which took an extra hour surgery time). He changed my life and couldn't be more grateful for him and his team.

Excellent Hand Surgeon
My experience with Dr. Trumble and staff, was 100 % well done. I felt very much that I was a patient and not just a number. I also enjoyed knowing that he has many patents that he has designed that are used in his different surgeries and have been excepted and trusted. My internist, when he asked about who did my surgery and I told him it was Dr. Trumble, even said that I had, in his opinion the best hand surgeon in Washington State.

Excellent operation. Excellent care.
Scheduling was easy and prompt. Intake at the clinic was professional, pleasant, and complete. The visit was timely and extremely well done. Dr. Trumble, listen, was conversational and not rushed, and diagnosis with therapy completed at the same visit. I was recommending to Dr. Trumble by my wife, who is also a patient of his. my personal judgment as a physician is at the service and care are excellent.
