    I didn't give it a 5 star because where Dr. Rodner is fantastic and his students are usually good too, checking in is always an issue. This time the check in person was not at her desk. I waited and waited and finally went to the check out person who happily took care of me. When the other desk person who was talking in the back saw me at the check out window she went back to her desk where another person was still waiting to be checked in. The check out person should not have to cover for the check in person while she is talking. Also, the person inside who schedules appts is always so doom and gloom. I hate talking to her. The person who sits next to her has a nice personality but the girl on the left is not at all enjoyable to be around. I always feel like I'm bothering or inconveniencing her. She wasn't at her desk either when I went to check out and when she came back she was still just not enjoyable to be around.

    Dr. Rodner and the nursing staff + Rose have always provided SUPERIOR support for me and my daughter. The team he has collected in the Hand Center is impressive and the reason I have recommended to friends and important family members.
