Dr. Craig Rodner, MD

Dr. Rodner has been nothing short of extraordinary from the very start. His care goes beyond medical expertise; it's evident that he deeply cares for each and every one of his patients. Throughout our interactions, he has become more than just a physician; he's family. His kindness and gentleness create a comforting atmosphere, and his genuine desire for the best outcomes is palpable. What truly sets him apart is his approach to treatment. He won't push surgery unless he is confident it will provide relief, opting for supportive care when needed. His charismatic personality and warm heart make every appointment a positive experience, erasing any fears associated with medical visits. His impact extends beyond patient care; he is highly respected by trainees, serving as an incredible teacher. His dedication to leaving no stone unturned in my case has been a source of immense gratitude. I am forever thankful for his exceptional care, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Rodner was wonderful. He explained everything in terms I could understand. His staff is great as well.

Dr. Craig Rodner has performed hand surgery on both of my hands to replace thumb base joints. He is a fantastic Surgeon, is approachable, easy with which to talk, and just a compassionate Human Being. Before my two surgeries, he explained every detail in great depth AND insured that I understood. I felt very supported by not only Dr. Rodner, but also his APRN Vrunda Shah, all the Medical Assistants, the Cast Technicians, and Receptionists. It was also very easy to obtain convenient appointments.

Listened. Provided a solution to an orthopaedic problem. Very Bright and warm.

Likelihood to recommend Dr. Rodner, Thank YOU, and please pass along a big "thank you" to your entire staff. I am highly impressed with the kindness, thoroughness, competence, and caring attitude of you and your team. It all comes through in each interaction, and each individual interaction is an opportunity to make an important statement that the person being treated truly "matters". As a former business executive, and now a mental health provider, I am acutely aware of the impact that those factors have on ensuring both a comfort level for the "client/patient", and the the probability of a positive outcome. I am also much aware that you, as the leader of that team, sets the tone for the way that team will function. Thank you. Ray

Dr Rodner did surgery on both my hands and did an amazing job and did a amazing job stitching me back up

Dr. Rodner is one of the best doctors I seen in my lifetime

Doctor Rodner and the entire staff at UCONN Health who worked with me, provided excellent care, from surgery to rehab. In my opinion Dr Rodner, is a tremendous Hand Surgeon. I have no hesitation what so ever in recommending Doctor Rodner, and the entire staff at UCONN for any type of hand surgery.

Lovely, human, knowledgeable,caring doctor. Repaired my heihenvwrost in a blinding blizzard.

Dr. Rodner has excellent bed side manner, is highly skilled and is fun to be around. He is also competent and was immediately able to diagnose my thumb pain and developed a plan of action, which ended up being surgery but I am so happy with the results. I would highly recommend that anyone experiencing hand pain go to see him, he is the best!!!

Waited over 1 hour to be seen. He was obviously running behind. He spoke so quickly that I though he was dismissive of my problem. I would not return to him.

I have been a patient of Dr Rodner for 12 years I have nothing but amazing things to say I don't trust anyone else with my arms or hands except him even after I moved an hour away I make the trip to come see him if I have a problem he is a great doctor who cares for his patients and makes sure we are taken care of I highly recommend

Dr. Rodner is an excellent surgeon and an exceptionally kind man, to whom I owe a great deal. Anyone would count themselves very lucky to have him as their doctor.

Being mid-50's with terribly arthritic hands is not fun. Dr Craig Rodner, UConn, fused the DIP joint on my right index finger, giving me use of my right hand (my predominant hand) once again. I wish I could attach the "before and after" picture. It's quite remarkable. The pain is gone and my finger is straight and usable again. I cannot thank Dr Rodner enough for the gift. His office staff is super professional and always friendly. His surgical team answered all my many questions. 5-stars!

I have had carpal tunnel in both my hands. I let the right hand go to far before seeing Dr. Rodner. I was told that the procedure would relieve my pain bit that the feeling in my hand would probably not return. I had the operation in early 2016 Several months later, went to Dr. Rodner for pain in my left hand. He gave me an injection which relieved the new pain for approximately a year. Pain returned, went back for another injection pain relieved. Also, 95% feeling returned to right hand.

I was referred to Dr. Rodner because of his great reputation. And I'm glad I made the decision to see him he was confident in his ability to do hand surgery and made the process very easy and fast. 6 weeks post op and I'm pain free, recovery amazingly and glad I went the route I did.

Best experience and outcome possible. Look no further for a great hand doc with wonderful bedside manner.

Love, love, LOVE Dr. Rodner! He is truly genuine, kind, patient, caring, and professional!! He took extra time to make sure I understood my surgery options and explained the procedures in language that I could understand. He made sure I felt comfortable with my decision to have a proximal row carpectomy of my right (dominant wrist) four years ago. I have never regretted this decision. He also personally followed up with phone calls after the surgery to ask how I was doing. He is awesome!

Dr. Rodner is not only an exceptional hand surgeon, he truly cares about his patients, remembers what is happening for his patients and makes sure his patients are well informed about the nature of the problem and the options for treatments. Plus, he is a very warm, funny and kind person. A true professional who takes time to listen to you and never makes you feel rushed.

Dr. Rodner is so nice and explains everything so that you can understand It and does not talk over you. He never makes you feel like you are wasting his time. He never rushes you when you have questions, so you may have to wait 5 to 15 minutes for your appointment, but you don't have to call after every appointment because he didn't explain something. The only time I have had to call is because I have forgotten to ask a question.
