The doctor explained my condition and made several options for treatment as well as physical therapy, which I started. I'm glad I found her through ZocDoc.

October 22, 2025Judy D.Verified patient
There was no experience. I contacted the office. No one ever got back with me. A clear sign it's not the kind of doctor I want to go to.

I waited in the waiting room for over an hour. Was taken to another waiting room where a nurse came in and reviewed by paperwork with a completely perplexed look on her face. I had requested treatment for my hand, wrist and elbow (suspected carpal tunnel/arthritis) but the nurse told me that they could only treat one part at a time. I responded isnt it all connected? The nurse took me back to get an x-ray and refused to x-ray any thing other than my elbow. I was taken back to my room and was told that the people across the hall from me had been in their room over two hours waiting for the doctor to come in. I just left. This is a perfect example of a doctor who doesn't consider or respect the time of their patients only theirs.

Dr. Hesse was excellent. Took time to listen and gave me some solutions on how to alleviate my use of wrist. Very patient and knowledgeable. Highly recommend Dr. Hesse. A+ treatment by complete staff, from check in to xray.
