Seattle Hand Surgery Group

So thankful for Dr. Ting and Janelle at Seattle Hand Surgery Group! You all changed my life! After suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome for a few years in a different state and going to a different provider (doing conservative care with bracing, NSAIDs, oral steroids, and steroid injections) I was getting really frustrated with constant numbing and painful flare ups in my wrist, thumb, index finger and ring finger. When I moved to Seattle, I searched for a new provider and found Seattle Hand. Dr. Ting was kind, caring, and listened to all of my issues — and even when regular diagnosing like an EMG did not show evidence of CTS, she ordered further testing with an ultrasound that revealed the nerve being compressed. She never dismissed my concerns, was always eager to help, and gave me a truly great experience. Afterwards, we quickly scheduled surgery 2 weeks later and the operation went super smoothly. In and out in about 15 minutes and a week at home recovering with a bandage and stitches. 6 weeks later, my hand is completely back to normal and the scar is barely visible. From my first visit to getting my stitches out took about 6 months. I can feel my fingers again, I can twist doorknobs with full strength, I can tie my shoes more easily, bear down on a sheet of paper with a pen without going numb, and so much more! It’s hard to state how much these little things matter when you slowly lose the ability to do them at 25 years old. I cannot thank the team at Seattle Hand enough for their help — I couldn’t be happier.

Seattle hand was a second opinion for me, primarily because operations affecting my hands are a little nerve-racking. Carpal tunnel, while it sounds like a routine surgery, is kind of a big deal.. I wasn’t necessarily comfortable with what the first doctor said, and the second doctor, Elizabeth Joneschild, confirmed what the first doctor had said. Dr. Joneschild had me do the EMG analysis, which would also be a second time through for me, confirming that my nerve damage was getting worse. After the results of the EMG were in, I elected to proceed with Dr. Joneschild because she had a very good, matter of fact, ease about her. Her way of explaining the situation was easy to follow. As for day of surgery, the bedside manner of everyone in Seattle Hand was incredibly good. I felt that ease, both going in and coming out after surgery. They were very easy. Thanks again, Seattle hand and Dr. Joneschild for a job well done.

This was hands-down the most positive medical experience I’ve ever had. It started with my phone call to the clinic and the person I spoke with, the doctors care, education for all the choices in care, asked about my lifestyle to see what option would be best for me, x-rays down the hall, sitting down with the doctor again, going to OT learning new exercise exercises, made a custom splint for my hand. This medical model is efficient, the people that work there are friendly, knowable, and professional. I do not say this lightly , I am a nurse, and I’ve worked in healthcare for years . This was the best healthcare experience I’ve had in my 60 years of life. I was out of the office within two hours. I was well cared for!

Tired of waiting months to see a specialist? The Seattle Hand Clinic had availability the next day. I saw Beverly Ting, and the visit was exactly what you hope for but rarely get. She was calm, attentive, and truly listened throughout the appointment. She answered all of my questions thoroughly and even provided additional resources related to my concerns. They offer a convenient app to complete paperwork and medical history ahead of time, if you are technologically inclined The clinic is easy to find. Parking is paid, which is the only downside. I came in with a specific issue and request that was fully addressed. I feel confident continuing care here and recommend this clinic.

This was THE BEST medical experience I have had in a long time. I was greeted warmly; quickly ushered through check in, vitals check, medical history check, etc.; within minutes I was seen by Dr. Daruwalla who very quickly diagnosed my situation, medically treated the condition and got me on my way! I very welcomed and well taken care of by Dr. Daruwalla and his team. 10 stars if I could have given them!
