Review for Dr. Hemmer Jr
I love Dr Gentin. She is so caring and listens to everything I have to say and looks at me when I’m talking instead of looking at her computer.

Review for Dr. Gentin
I had surgery for dupuytren's contracture. It all went well except she left a piece in my hand and know it has grown and became a problem again, I don't know why she left that piece there except maybe she thought she would get to do another surgery! if i do another surgery it won't be with her.

Review for Dr. Schaheen
