Hand & Shoulder Center

"Dr Kristin B is the best orthopedic doctor I’ve been to. She thoroughly communicated our options and listened to all my concerns prior and after the surgery. 10/10 recommend"

"Dr. Balk's strenghs are many. Excellant communican and confirmation that I clearly understand the diagnosis and surgery/non-surgery options. Recovery time, PT and expectations. He answered all my questions and mapped out my procedure. He was a pleasure to consult with for this future procedure."

"I saw my former doctor Bradley Palmer is here. I encourage you to check my review of him out. I will summarize below. He did 6 failed hand surgeries, lied about my wrist being fused, and blamed me for it going wrong. I found out the scans I brought to my new doctor to salvage my hand showed my wrist was never fused. This guy is a snake oil salesman, do not let him work on you. My new doctor said I was like Wolverine I healed so fast, Bradley Palmer's six surgeries never healed well at all. That should be all you need to hear. He couldn't repair the hand of a person in their 20's who was in very good shape. Get multiple opinions, for reference, my hand was saved by John fowler, go see him. He's a much better doctor."

"Dr. Aaron Grand is a great doctor. He performed both of my wrist surgeries to remove ganglion cysts. He thoroughly explained everything and all my options before I decided on surgery. He answered all my questions and listed to what I had to say. Thankful for him, as I no longer have wrist pain from the ganglion cysts."

"Dr. Kristen Buterbaugh and the staff at The Hand and Shoulder Center of Wexford are absolutely fantastic!! Dr. Buterbaugh did an excellent job on my carpal tunnel and thumb ligament surgeries- no more pain now! She has a great personality and actually listens and answers questions- that's a WOW in my book! She takes the time to come and see you before AND after the surgery- another WOW moment. Every single staff member I came in contact with was caring, helpful and compassionate. They really make you feel at ease. I can't say enough good things about this doctor and staff! If you need surgery go there- you will not be disappointed! Thank you so much Dr. Buterbaugh!!"
