Dr. Stafford is exactly what you want as a doctor in a situation as I was in. I'm a professional drummer facing carpal tunnel surgery. Dr. Stafford and I got off to a little bit of a rocky start initially. I was in terrible pain, and ready to get my hands fixed, and he was a conservative, scientifically motivated surgeon. He's an expert, and I was in need and I didn't want to wait to run tests on something I knew was terrible. I didn't go for surgery the way he normally he did it, but gave me the, "your hand, your decision" perspective. After surgery, Dr. Stafford called me(which meant a lot) at 7pm and checked on me. He then requested to speak to my brother(who was running point for my care) and told him, "Your brother's carpal tunnel case is one of the worst I've ever seen in 30 years. He's a tough man, and he's a got a good brother looking out for him." Dr. Stafford isn't going to be your buddy, but that really doesn't matter. He saved my career. A year later, I've gone on several national tours, was featured in DRUM! Magazine, and have several endorsements. I don't see any of that without Dr. Stafford.

Great Doctor and clinic service
June 16, 2014Dalia A.Verified patient
The office was open and comfortable. The front desk woman was kind and professional. Dr. Stafford seemed very knowledgeable and took time to answer all of my questions. He was able to make a diagnosis based on my symptoms and administered treatment that same day. I would highly recommend him. The only thing I did not like was paying for parking, which is normal for most practices in the medical center. I had hoped for reimbursement, but they do not do that here.
May 28, 2014Kysa W.Verified patient
It was short, to the point and Dr. Stafford is an amazing specialist. He operated on my wrist about 6 years ago and was able to diagnose my problem in a matter of seconds. This visit was also fantastic, he is very knowledgeble and has a ton experince. Strongly recomment.
