Hands down best hand doc ever, no pun intended. After being hit by a car on my bicycle my pinkie extensor tendon was severed. My right hand sustained serious trauma, my finger required surgery & Dr. Ishak repaired a shredded tendon. As a retired OR nurse I know a good surgeon when I see one. Dr. Ishak is the only hand doc I trust. I’ll be forever grateful!
Dr Ishak is wonderful. Very knowledgeable, gentle, kind, and he really helped me. The pain in my hands has bothered me for years. Due to injury, age and arthritis, I truly felt there was no help available. But to my surprise and relief, Dr. Ishak was able to help. I’m extremely grateful.
I feel very fortunate to have found such a wonderful doctor. The good ones are very hard to find.
I have been a patient of Dr. Ishak for a while now. It started with Trigger fingers & recently Carpal tunnel syndrome. I have four scars on my hands & now the little one on my wrist. I promise you can not see any of them. Dr. Ishak is wonderful! To the point & serious about the care you need. He is the only one I trust with anything regarding my hands! Thank you! Dr. Ishak
