“I hurt my hand a week ago. By the time I was able to see Dr Cantlon, most of the swelling had gone down and pain had lessened greatly, but the office still did an X-ray to be certain there was no hidden damage. Dr Cantlon told me to continue icing and that I should make sure to exercise my hand so that it doesn’t stiffen up. He also said, it would be okay to use hand weights as long as I was comfortable holding them. This totally put my mind at ease and I’m really glad I now can resume chair yoga and strong & fit classes. I got to the office 15 minutes early and was seen immediately. Also, everyone listened to me and made an effort to speak clearly and loud enough that I could hear them. I especially appreciate that. ”
