Dr. Homer was very intent on listening to everything I had to say. He explained everything well as far as what he was concerned about. He told me directly what I should do to help myself recover. He was very concerned that I understood everything and I knew that if I didn't take care of it the way he was telling me I should, it may require surgery somewhere down the line. And he even helped me get aid for assisting my wrist recover, like an aid that was like a wrist bandage to help me recover. He was most excellent and my son and son-in-law are also making an appointment to go see him themselves. That's how impressed my daughter was. She came with me.

Dr. Homer was very informational, professional, and very, very easy to talk to, which I found a great relief. Because he was easy to talk to, I was able to tell him everything I needed to tell him without trying to figure out, oh, am I telling him too much? or he's a doctor, he should know this or that or the other thing. But very easy to talk to and it has great recommendations.

My care provider went above and beyond to get me an appointment so my broken finger could receive a cast at a location that had the OTPT casting ability. And I was willing to drive and the provider was actually able to get me an appointment that day within two hours. I was in the other office and my broken thumb was being cast appropriately so that way it could heal and mend without me refracturing it. And I am so grateful for the individualized and personalized attention and forethought that the doctor provided for me. It's a rarity these days and thank you.

Dr. Homer was excellent. It was the second time I saw him about trigger finger, and he listened to what I had to say, and we agreed that it was time to do surgery on my finger. So, and he recommended a person and gave me the phone numbers, everything I needed. He actually gave me a shot in the other finger, which is starting to get trigger finger. So, he was great, and like I said, it's the second time I've seen him, and I'll probably see him again for my other hand in another year or so, depending. So, yeah, he's excellent.

The fellow to Dr Homer had an outstanding bedside manner. She made me feel so cared about. She listened so carefully to everything I had to say. I learned a lot from her about my hands and what best to do and what not do with them. She was very well versed as a hand specialist. Dr Homer is a true expert and the fellow already passed along the important information. He was concise and to the point. He did not recommend surgery, which impressed me. He was not trying to drum up business but rather act in my best interest. On top of that he is just a super cool guy. When I saw him in his black TShirt and hair in a bun I knew that was going to like him immediately. He is a complete expert in his field. Great advice. Both Dr Homer and his fellow are really great.
