– Theresa M Oatley
Dr. Kardestuncer is amazing! After having my excruciatingly month-long thumb & wrist pain dismissed by a different hand doctor, I went seeking a second opinion. Enter Dr. Kardestuncer who immediately diagnosed this new mom with De Quervain syndrome colloquially known as mommy's thumb. One steroid injection later and the pain was gone. Just an all-around personable, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable doctor. I'm so glad to have found him.
