Patient Reviews

Dr. Papandrea did a thumb fusion for arthritis about a year ago. He was wonderful during my pre-op visits answering my many questions and explaining thoroughly what the surgery would entail and how the recovery would be. Post-op was just as explained and again questions were answered and recovery we...

Excellent doctor and surgeon. I had a total shoulder replacement done in Denver. It failed and became diseased. I also have lymphedema in that arm as side affect of breast cancer.

Dr. Papandrea is not only a good Dr. he is a Dr. who cares. He provided me all the information and contact info for my procedure and after care that was needed. His follow up was a pleasant surprise and I would highly recommend him.
