Words can't begin to express how thrilled I am with the care I'm receiving at OAA. At the age of 24 months , I broke my 5th phalanx and it never healed properly and was very crooked and severely deformed. The pediatrician stated that as long as it wasn't causing me any pain or limiting my mobility , there was no need for a surgical fix. However , this past spring I begun having discomfort in my 5th metacarpal that was inferior to my 5th middle phalanx. I called OAA and they were able to accommodate me immediately. In August I had a 5th phalanx osteotomy performed by Dr. Lawrence Weiss and I'm so grateful to be able to call him one of my physicians. Ftomb the beginning he was so kind , patient , compassionate , and addressed all my concerns regarding the procedure. His bedside manner especially stood out Thursday morning when he removed 4 pins from my surgery back in August. I was very scared and anxious because I was having a lot of pain in my phalanx that day. He could not have been any kinder than he was and he talked me through the process. I relaxed and trusted him. Dr. Weiss is such a skilled and intelligent surgeon who is very dedicated to making a difference in the live'a of his patients. Kelsey , his PA-C was also beyond wonderful and really took the time to make sure that I was at ease. Between the two of them , it was a very pleasant experience and I knew that I would be in good hands. It was truly an honor allowing them to care for me and I would highly recommend them to anybody in need of a physician who specializes in the upper extremities. Dr. Weiss and Kelsey , thank you so much for providing the best care possible to me. I'm so grateful.
