He is currently treating my trigger finger on left hand using cortisone injections. He performed successful trigger finger on my right hand in the past since relief from cortisone injections were no longer working.

I was told that Dr. Anton Kapp was retiring in May of 2025. Nice doctor. He will be missed. Dr. Parikh is a very good doctor also. Nice, polite and shows concern for your health. Will be returning in the future.
