Dr. Eric George, MD

I had seen 3 other physicians for my hands before being recommended to see Dr George. Within 30 seconds he was able to diagnose me and told me I wouldn't need surgery just an injection. My hands feel better than they have in years!

Also ask a lot of questions, including how accessible is Dr. George day of surgery to the patient and how quickly do you see him, not someone else, post op. Oh! And, ask if procedure is the newest way to perform the surgery, or one he's been using for 20+ years.

this is my last review. I am just absolutely baffled. The first time I went to this place years ago they were so respectful of me this time I felt so disrespected and unheard unlisted to, and definitely uncared about!!!! This is my last review. I am just absolutely baffled. The first time I went to this place years ago they were so respectful of me this time I felt so disrespected and unheard unlisted to, and definitely uncared about. my left hand and wrist and arm is killing me even though I’m on pain medicine this is why people cannot get off of Medicare or Medicaid because when they go to try to find out what their problem is they aren’t heard or listen to. they are just pushed to the side and asked if they need more pain medicine, it was very much such a disappointment when I’ve heard nothing but good things about Dr. George … hopefully if I see him, he will treat me much better but I can’t believe that he lets the doctor like Dr.Lyons work in his practice. (Period)

Dr George is not as competent as he claims to be. I’d stay away from him. Choose another!!!

Dr George did a total wrist replacement on me recently . He is the best surgeon i have ever had. I am looking forward to my new wrist. I am i PT and it is getting better every day. He is the best hand surgeon in the United States. Thank You Dr George

Dr George is extremely comprehensive and very professional. He listens with concern and takes the necessary time to explain fully your condition offering his suggestions. He is an excellent, caring professional, who is kind, understanding and compassionate. Thank you, Dr George. The world needs more doctors like you.

This man sold me on a simple, low-risk surgery for a very minor condition. Before surgery, I had full use of my hand but a little tendon soreness. After the surgery, I could not move my hand or use it at all. Despite PT I have not regained any ability. I am permanently disabled now because of him. He turned really nasty when the outcome wasn't good, too. It was a shocking transformation. He is very good at marketing himself as "the best hand surgeon" but other surgeons fix his mistakes all the time. I am not so lucky. My hand isn't fixable. I just have to live this way now. Please don't fall for his charm and self-promo.

Excellent doctor,great diagnostic doctor,the best bed side manners ever seen in a doctor.he is very patient,kind,wants to help you.explains your issue,makes you feel very at ease.I highly recommend him to everybody.top notch knowledge,soo nice,will always go back to him.I trust him completely.HE IS THE BEST

Dr. George has done four hand surgeries for me after a bad wreck tore tendons in my wrists and I broke a finger following a fall. I now see him every two months for injections since I developed severe arthritis. He and his staff have always been professional and caring. His office and adjoining hand therapy clinic feel more like a spa than just another doctor’s office! I would recommend him above anyone else!

Good fund of knowledge and experience but doesn't individualize patient assessmennt and treatment. Office management by the physician is terrible. Admits to triple booking appointments resulting to hour long waits to be seen.

Dr. George is one of the best surgeons around. Dr. George takes time to listen to you and always so friendly treat you like family. I had 3 surgeries done both hands and my elbow everything went great. Hand therapy you couldn't have asked for better staff, that's why I can move my hands today. I highly recommend Dr George

He has done two hand surgeries on my husband’s hand. He is an excellent surgeon I recommend him highly. Also the Onega hospital is first class and so is the staff. Thank you all.

One of the best medical experiences I've ever had. I had a fractured hook of hamate bone (very painful) and went to see several doctors including other hand specialist. Their general consensus? Carpal tunnel even after seeing the x-rays! So I was shot up with pain killers and sent on my way, only to have the pain flair up again. On my first visit to Dr. George, he literally touched my hand and asked where it hurt then said "I'm pretty sure it's your hook of hamate but I'll need an MRI to confirm." He was right and we scheduled the surgery and the rest is history! Hand is rebuilt and now better than it's ever been.

Dr. George repaired my hand with the “mini tightrope”, and now I can still play the violin. No kidding.

Awesome Doctor he shows he is concern very friendly & prompt . I was referred to him for my carpal tunnel it was server he did surgery on both hands that was the best decision I've made in a long time.

One of the best hand surgeons. Very good bedside manner not hard to talk to and he's to the point. Fixed my wrist years ago. Thank you Dr. George.

Dr George is a great surgeon. There is no doubt he is best in the southeast, he does all of saints players I’ve been in his office when they come in to see him . He saved my hand . You people who complain about him are clueless,. The dude works 100 hours a week He is really talented and generous. I’ve heard he doesn’t have to work but cares so much I recommend him 100%

Wonderful doctor, excellent choice.

Not very happy after I got to the doctors office today to find out that my appointment was cancelled. I drove from Ponchatoula for a follow-up visit about my wrist. The office staff was not very concerned that they cancelled my appointment without even calling me. When I went for my first appointment, after they brought me to the examination room I waited for over 45 minutes before I actually saw the doctor. I would not recommend using this doctor. Way too many patients.

Dr. George is a fantastic doctor. I had a complicated surgery and it went well. However, I cannot recommend him because of his office staff and billing practices. Most of his office staff members border on being rude and give out incorrect information. When I tried to get a bill explained I was told that their accounting system was difficult to explain. Red flag!!!!! Since they require payment up front, I overpaid by 185.00. That was in March. I am still waiting on my refund.
