Dr. Kardestuncer performed carpal tunnel release surgery on my left hand in late May. I had a severe case and should have gone to him sooner than I did. Dr. K was very thorough with appropriate nerve testing, xray, surgery details etc. I was grateful for his diagnosis and had the surgery at the Constitution Surgery Ctr East, 174 Cross Road, Waterford CT. That facility is excellent and I was very pleased having my surgery done by Dr. K at that location.

After a fall/possible wrist fracture saw another local "hand specialist" who wanted to cast me after doing one x-ray that was inconclusive. Dr. K took 7 xrays, did careful exam, was kind, gentle,professional, thorough. Said there was no fracture on x ray. Offered to do MRI ( other doc didn't). Said I take off the splint now. Hand felt better 24 hours after being out of the splint. He did carpel tunnel/cubital tunnel surgery on my husband a year ago with great result. Recommend him highly!

Dr. K has now performed 2 surgeries on me. 1 on my left hand for carpal tunnel and the other on my left for torn cartilage. Both times he explained everything and got me back to work! I've recommended him numerous times and I wouldn't go to any other hand surgeon.

Dr.K is an excellent Dr. I had to have a couple surgeries and he did an amazing job. If i ever have to have hand or arm surgery again i will ask for Dr. K. He has a very good bed side manor. He isnt pushy and he listens to his patients and their concerns. I can't say it enough on how good of a Dr he is. Thank you Dr. K for all that you did for me

Dr. Kardestuncer took the time to explain the problem that I was having with my hand and gave me options to choose from. He put me at ease. The surgery was done with just a small scar. After surgery he checked the incision and it had healed nicely.If I had any problems, I just needed to call. I would recommend him to anyone.

I went after hearing outstanding reviews. I needed PIP replacement. To make this brief he put a joint to small for the finger in. When I saw him after the surgery (8-10wk) and doing the suggested treatment (weekly therapy) I asked him why the tip (tendon to long now) hung and I couldn't bend the finger. His comment was gee that has never happened before. He didn't follow up and he left the room, My follow up was to be in 2 months with his Assistant. I didn't return; have new Dr!

I waited 1 hour and 45 minutes to be put in a room. I had x-rays taken, best experience of entire visit. Waited another i/2 hour for the Doctor to come into room. I timed the visit , 2 minutes I rounded up. Doctor told me that I could only be seen for one condition per visit. Started talking about a surgery, I did not know the diagnosis I tried to ask questions but my time had expired, I was still talking as he left the room. Doctor had NO people skills!!!
