I was willing to overlook the doctor's terrible bedside manner, but my post-surgery experience was a nightmare. My cast was applied too tightly (his solution was to go on disability), my wound was never cleaned properly, my pain levels were constantly ignored, and he made several incisions into my finger so that I now have permanent scarring, discoloration, minor deformity. The worst part, is that I'm still in pain. So the surgery and all the out-of-pocket expenses were a waste, and I still have to have the finger corrected.

Bad experience with Dr Slater with the front desk.

Dr. Slater is very professional and to the point. He is very knowledgeable and his staff is great as well. The only reason why I am leaving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the billing company he chose to work with. God! They are so difficult to get a hold of. I cannot for the life of me get anyone on the phone.

I liked him right off. He was right to the point and I could see he was intelligent and professional. My son has a wrist tear injury from a slip and fall at work. My son is deaf and Dr. Slater was patient and kind with him plus giving me ample time to interpret for my son. His plan to fix my son's wrist was right on target and I have no doubt he will do a very good repair. My son and I both felt comfortable and relieved that his outcome with surgery will be a positive one. I give him 4 stars and would give him 5 if he lived ... read more

Trust your hands to Dr. Slater! Both of my hands got to the point of non-functioning. I play guitar so when my left hand stopped working it was devastating. VERY happy to report that my guitar hand is better than ever after recovery. When my RH started failing I went back to Dr. Slater and and now almost over recover. I read some of the previous reviews and understand some have different options, but I would not trust my hands to any other Dr.

He is an emotional and condescending. Doesn’t really look you in the eye questions or concerns as we just don’t know any better and how to ask a question. Simple question I asked about recovery - if i did surgery-went to into a robotic answer. “ it depends on what you mean. You can walk the next day you can brush teeth two days later. Then do your soort 6 weeks later” I’m asking when I can get back to my activity. I’m sure he is highly educated and is extremely intelligent in his field. I am moving on to another doctor

AMAZING! When first explained the procedure (trapeziectomy) thought it sounded like elective back surgery… After a year and worsening pain, opted for the “fix” to elevate the problem. Very happy I did! Pain is gone from joint and feels better every day. Scars are almost nonexistent. A truly skilled surgeon who is a straight shooter! Forever grateful less than 4 months post op!

several trigger finger surgeries, carpel tunnel surgeries on both hands, cyst removed over the years. Very pleased with each surgery, What do you expect not all surgeons are wonderful personalities. What I expect is a positive outcome.

no question he is an expert in his field. Varying personalities are a part of human nature regardless of the other comments I've read. Had two surgeries with this doctor and don't hesitate to refer anyone I know or meet to him.
