Review for Dr. Devathi
Dr. Sawardeker performed a trapeziectomy (with the ligament reconstruction) on my left thumb and I am very pleased with the results! I'm looking forward to my upcoming right thumb surgery which he will also be doing.

Review for Dr. Sawardeker
Didn't seem to be listening when I told symptoms. Seemed to be rushed and did not seem to care about anything I said. Didn't show compassion. Comes off as arrogant- needs to learn some people skills.
