Dr. Tarik Kardestuncer, MD

I had a ruptured bee tendon repaired by Dr. Kardestuncer. He was spot on every step of the way and I am extremely happy with my care. I retired after 34 years working in healthcare and can assure you that you will not find a finer surgeon. I received outstanding care from him and his rehab staff. Thank you all

Dr. K is compassionate, and welcoming every time I’ve seen him. I’ve had had tree trigger fingers releases and tendonitis that he has treat me for. He’s the best !

personable, extremely knowledgeable

I had a surgery to fix my ulnar nerve. The surgery wasn't really a failure but I still have constant pain and numbness and lack of motor control. With having done all prescribed physical therapy, several times. My main complaint is his attitude. I understand he may have family over there, but you can't tell your patients with PTSD that "if you were in Syria, you'd be working." Really out of line. Can there be a zero star option?

Dr. K is awesome, down to earth, has a great sense of humor and he cares. The carpel tunnel surgery he performed was excellent, back to work within 3 weeks. Thank you!!!

Dr. K is personable and friendly. The whole Orthopedic Partners practice always runs efficiently, yet they maintain a warm atmosphere. Thanks. My thumbs feel great!

Dr. K did the carpal tunnel release surgery on both of my hands. He was very patient with me and very reassuring. Now that I'm back to work I'm having a much easier time; no more pins and needles, finger swelling or numbness. I'm so glad I had the operation but most of all I am so glad Dr. K did the operation! I am recommending him to everyone!

Dr K did surgery on my broken wrist, then additional carpal tunnel surgery on same hand due to nerve trauma from broken wrist. He answered all my questions. Very busy practice, however it runs very smoothly. I loved being able to use the online patient portal for any concerns I had. I alway received a prompt response. I would definitely recommend him as a great surgeon.

May be a good surgeon. I'll never know.But i felt like i was wasting his time. Hand pain from my job . Suggested i get a different position. In and out....

Dr. Kardestuncer performed carpal tunnel release surgery on my left hand in late May. I had a severe case and should have gone to him sooner than I did. Dr. K was very thorough with appropriate nerve testing, xray, surgery details etc. I was grateful for his diagnosis and had the surgery at the Constitution Surgery Ctr East, 174 Cross Road, Waterford CT. That facility is excellent and I was very pleased having my surgery done by Dr. K at that location.

Excellent job doing the surgery on my elbow 6 weeks post op and no pain

After a fall/possible wrist fracture saw another local "hand specialist" who wanted to cast me after doing one x-ray that was inconclusive. Dr. K took 7 xrays, did careful exam, was kind, gentle,professional, thorough. Said there was no fracture on x ray. Offered to do MRI ( other doc didn't). Said I take off the splint now. Hand felt better 24 hours after being out of the splint. He did carpel tunnel/cubital tunnel surgery on my husband a year ago with great result. Recommend him highly!

Dr. K has now performed 2 surgeries on me. 1 on my left hand for carpal tunnel and the other on my left for torn cartilage. Both times he explained everything and got me back to work! I've recommended him numerous times and I wouldn't go to any other hand surgeon.

Dr. Kardestuncer took the time to explain the problem that I was having with my hand and gave me options to choose from. He put me at ease. The surgery was done with just a small scar. After surgery he checked the incision and it had healed nicely.If I had any problems, I just needed to call. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr.K is an excellent Dr. I had to have a couple surgeries and he did an amazing job. If i ever have to have hand or arm surgery again i will ask for Dr. K. He has a very good bed side manor. He isnt pushy and he listens to his patients and their concerns. I can't say it enough on how good of a Dr he is. Thank you Dr. K for all that you did for me

very friendly, knowledgeable & expert hand surgeon; my wrist procedure was performed smoothly with any complications; highly recommend!

I went after hearing outstanding reviews. I needed PIP replacement. To make this brief he put a joint to small for the finger in. When I saw him after the surgery (8-10wk) and doing the suggested treatment (weekly therapy) I asked him why the tip (tendon to long now) hung and I couldn't bend the finger. His comment was gee that has never happened before. He didn't follow up and he left the room, My follow up was to be in 2 months with his Assistant. I didn't return; have new Dr!

I waited 1 hour and 45 minutes to be put in a room. I had x-rays taken, best experience of entire visit. Waited another i/2 hour for the Doctor to come into room. I timed the visit , 2 minutes I rounded up. Doctor told me that I could only be seen for one condition per visit. Started talking about a surgery, I did not know the diagnosis I tried to ask questions but my time had expired, I was still talking as he left the room. Doctor had NO people skills!!!

This guy may be a good surgeon but he has one of the worse bedside manners of any Dr. I have met. He is an obnoxious, self-centered snob (I would write worse but I don?t think it would get published).
