He was friendly, professional, informative and put me at ease regarding treatment and the necessary procedure. However, I had to be there 30 min early which wasn’t necessary as I had filled in the paperwork online. My appt was for 4.00pm. I was called to the examination room at 3.45 and didn’t see the doctor tor until 4.30pm. No explanation given that he was running late. Also, I was told to wait for his assistant to talk to me about surgery dates. I waited 10 minutes then told that she had gone home but that she would call me the next day. That didn’t happen. Still waiting.

Hand pain treatment
Despite a poor scheduling experience and a 45 minute wait to be seen, Dr. Lilyquist did a thorough exam, explained options for treatment, and gave me another injection with another type of steroid. Care is highly professional but scheduling needs some improvement.

Knowledgeable and Compassionate
I appreciated the time Dr Lilyquist took with me. He did a careful exam and was able to determine that I had several different issues happening with my wrists. Even though he is a surgeon he offered options other than just surgery. I look forward to continuing to work with him for further relief.

Expert Hand Surgeon
I’ve been a patient for over 3 years and recovering from my second metacarpal replacement surgery and without Dr Liliquest and his expertise in hand and joint reconstructive surgery I don’t know what my future without the use of my hands would have been like. I’m forever grateful…
