I saw Dr. Kaiser yesterday for my right hand and wrist. He showed me my x-ray and sat with me making sure I understood everything. He was very thorough, professional, and spoke in a way that I didn’t feel rushed, and he made sure that he explained everything to me to a tee. I enjoyed my visit with Dr. Kaiser. If I do require surgery at a later date, I know I am in good hands with Dr. Kaiser.

I have seen Dr. Kaiser several times over the past few years for various hand and shoulder problems caused by osteoarthritis. Dr. Kaiser was very helpful and always explained things to me in layman's terms. My issues were always resolved with steroid injections, but if surgery was ever required, I would not hesitate to have him perform any procedures. Thank you, Dr., Kaiser for helping me. I have recommended him to other people with various hand and arm issues.

I fractured my wrist in many places. It required a couple plates over it, screws, and a piece of wire. I had top-notch care at ROC. Everything from my 1st x-ray to pre-op to surgery to follow-up to occupational therapy. ROC took care of me and gave my family the perfect instructions to help take care of me. Thank you, Dr. Kaiser.
