I did not have to wait. I was seen at my appointment time. Dr. was friendly and made me feel at ease. Explained everything to me and answered all my questions.

As usual with Dr. Sampson, I was seen the morning after my call for an appointment; I arrived early, was taken to the exam room, was seen shortly thereafter (I don't believe that Dr. Sampson's assistant was a nurse, though may have been). Dr. Sampson made a thorough examination, recommended a steroid injection and use of a brace, gave me the injection, chatted for a few minutes and went on his way to the next patient. I left the hospital ten minutes before the scheduled appointment.

I find Dr. Christian Sampson to be the best of the best. I would trust him on any issues involving my hands and I would freely recommend him to anybody that had hand issues. He's been responsive, not jumps to surgery right away. I feel that he is a really, really wonderful hand surgeon and I've been going to him for many years now. I've had five hand surgeries and I've been thoroughly and completely satisfied with him.
