Top Review for Dr. Jafarnia and his entire team!
I recently had carpal surgery, and the entire process surpassed my expiations. Dr. Jafarnia is a very talented surgeon. Each member of his team was professional, informative, compassionate and caring. From day surgery check in, to meeting with my anesthesiologist, my surgical team, to post op and discharge, each step provided me with best of care and emotional support.Dr. Jafarnia even took the time to phone me at my home the evening of my surgery. I was so impressed with his level of commitment to my care. In addition, he recommended the best Physical Therapist. I am forever grateful to Dr. Jafarnia and his skills and compassionate support. I highly recommend him. He is the best.Sheila Lilley

Outstanding care and great staff!
I saw Dr. Jafarnia and his staff members several times (unfortunately) with trigger thumb. While injections didn't solve my problem and I required surgery on both thumbs, Dr. Jarfarnia, Jennifer Ogle (PA) and the entire staff at Methodist were outstanding. Great care provided by great people!

The great Pinky finger repair!
I really messed up my right hand pinky, severing a couple nerves and ligaments. Thankfully, I found Dr Jafarnia at Memorial Ironman and he operated within 48 hours of the injury. The surgery initially turned out to be more complicated than expected, but he restored all feeling and ability. I can’t recommend him highly enough! Thanks, Dr Jafarnia

A Lifetime of Support for my family
Dr. Jafarnia was highly recommended by numerous close friends who received treatment for themselves and or family members in both a time of crisis (Nanna fell and damaged her hand and wrist during Christmas dinner) or hereditary problems. My father in law suffered from (Dupuytren's contracture) and I tore my bicep. The consultation process, pre-op, surgery and rehabilitation provided was world class. The rehabilitation and physical therapy provided was critical in the success of the procedure.

Dr Jafarnia was quick to solve my problem, Dupuytren. Saw him on Wednesday morning and he did surgery on Thursday morning. Him and his offices personal are all very professional. Called me several times to make sure all was ok, would refer anyone, anytime to him.

More than I expected
Doctor Jafarnia was able to quickly diagnose my Carpal tunnel syndrome, bilateral and De Quervain's tenosynovitis, bilateral which was causing me extreme pain. After discussing treatment options and completing the procedure it was a quick recovery with little scarring. I’m deeply appreciative of his talent. His staff is also very courteous and knowledgeable.

Regained full finger functionality
Saw Dr. Jafarnia 2 weeks after an accident that caused multiple metacarpal fractures (horizontal and vertical) as well as two open dislocated fingers. Sought him out after not feeling confident after meeting with another surgeon and could not be more pleased with my decision and his care and those of his staff. I found him to be detail oriented (set up the first therapy session himself; sent extra surgery photos to my phone; wrote long detailed case notes), energetic, positive, warm but firm (in making sure I took the hand therapy seriously) and makes time to talk to you despite his busy schedule. The long tenure of Jennifer Ogle (PA) and other members of his team speak to his ability to run an efficient, frirendly and successful practice. One more thing-he is an incredible surgeon! I have a doctor in the family who was impressed with the post-surgery images. I am well on my way to a full recovery and feel so fortunate to have found him.

Severe Chronic Dupuytrens Contracture
I watched Dr. Jafarnia studing my hand carefully. He gave me a clear understanding as to what can happen & that my diseased hand was a severe. There was a lot of tissue to remove with tiny nerves that can be damaged causing loss of feeling. With many prior surgeries it created lots of scaring in the area that complicates it further. I may need skin grafts to close the site. He let me to know it may be difficult to achieve the results I wanted. I have been told by several surgeons that most men don't have it this bad. I put it off so long I knew was needing a devoted surgeon to take care of the mess I created. I had read about Dr Jafarnia and because of my research I decided he was the one that could make my situation better. After 10 days my hand went from folded in half to straight out. The thick hard tissue gone, no graft & nerves are good. I had a little cry with joy. There will be more & Jafarnia will be my surgeon. Additionally He has a great surgery team & staff too.

Surgery - Dupuytren contracture
My appointment was on time and handled very efficiently. Dr. Jafarnia as well as his staff was affable and easy to talk to. All of my questions were answered leaving me with no concern about my surgery. As far as the actual surgery is concerned, it was exactly as described, and the recovery has been relatively easy. Without question, the occupational therapy is extremely important and adds to a faster use of my hand. I highly recommend Dr. Jafarnia.

Dr. Jafarnia is fabulous.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Jafarnia for Dupuytrens contracture for several years. This year the condition had advanced to the state that Dr Jafarnia decided surgery was the best option. The surgery and my recovery have been far better than I ever expected. I highly recommend Dr Jafarnia.

My pain is gone
Dr Jafarnia has been my doctor for several years. He recently treated my tennis elbow which had been very painful. After an MRI, it was discovered that my tendon had completely torn away from the bone. Dr. Jafarnia performed re-attachment surgery. The surgery was a success and the care I received before and after was exceptional . I highly recommend Dr. Jafarnia and Jennifer as the best in the field.
