Dr. Jessica Figueroa, MD

would only recommend going here if you are absolutely desperate. Nina, the administrative assistant, is one of the rudest people I have unfortunately had to come across. Dr. Figueroa told my work I was all good to go back to work, 2 weeks after my surgery where my hand was detached from my wrist and I needed a metal implant and screws. She told me to go back to work the day I got my stitches out. I had surgery 10/21/2024, stitches were removed 11/4/2024, and Nina and the surgeon filled out paperwork for my work saying I could go back in with a broken wrist. Unprofessional. Moreover, she compared my progress with moving my hand and wrist again with another patient. She told me she performed surgery on this guy and after 6 weeks, she couldn?t even tell he had surgery because he was moving so well and I was not. At this point I did start crying, and she told me I needed to increase my anti depressants because of this.

Over several I had developed a constriction that held the pinky finger of my left hand in a bent position. Dr. Figueroa diagnosed it quickly and soon performed the procedure that I needed. She gave me detailed information on the available procedures, risks, and expectations, and her descriptions proved accurate. Her treatment was quick and effective. The practice includes an in-house suite of physical therapists. She communicated well with them, and their treatment helped me to steadily recover the motion in my hand. Every person i met at Dr. Figueroa’s practice was welcoming and efficient. The Columbia location is easy to reach, parking is ample, and her office is conveniently on the first floor near the entrance. There is a small cafe in the building, too. I highly recommend Dr. Figueroa and the related physical therapy practice.
