Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wanted relief
Not good… X-ray r tech is a burn out, crabby and snaps if you don’t hold hand right, Snaps orders to get back to room like you are 10 years old. Dr. Livingstone spent 2 minutes in room with me looking at X-ray,Touched hand, gave a quick diagnosis and left, never to return . I still had questions, but realized she was off to the next pt who might be a surgery money maker. Very disappointed, don’t worry won’t be back

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Dr. Livingstone is not only a personable physician but she is very detailed and thorough with her communication making sure you are properly informed with your diagnosis, treatment and plan of care. My experience all together was very pleasant and her confidence kept me at great ease. She was gentle but very precise while administering my 1st & 2nd round of injections as she talked me through every step. Her patience was reassuring and I look forward to having my surgery with her for my carpal tunnel syndrome.

Highly Recommend!!!! - Trigger Finger
Dr. Livingstone is an exceptional physician, carries herself well. Is very thorough and prompt. Very informative and detailed with plan of care. Was gentle when administering injection to my trigger finger and I have not had repeating symptoms in almost a year now. She is amazing, staff was also pleasant. I look forward to continue treating with her not just for trigger finger but with any hand related issues that may come to be. I highly recommend her service.

DR Livingstone you need to know this.
Dr Livingstone is Great, Her Staff awful rude, the lady at the front desk over charged my copay over a 100.00 dollars, would not listen to reason that my deductible had been met, Now the billing lady (also rude) said i will get a refund in 6 to 8 weeks. It gets better... I was to have hand surgery on 10/17/22, how ever Scheduling lady who was going to call and set up the Surgery the day after my original App, 10/6/22, called on 10/17/22 to set it up, When I said I was to be having the surgery today, She replied OK Ill just put down that your not ready and you can call us back when you are ready. What A Joke,

VERY happy with my last visit two weeks ago. Dr. Livingstone gave me a shot in my left wrist and within four days the pain in my hand-and wrist subsided and after two weeks is almost completely gone !! Both my wife and I are extremely happy with Dr. Livingstone

No wait, explained my situation “Chronic arthritic pain in left thumb” told the Doc my last two injections no longer worked. Dr. Livingstone’s injection of Cortisone was a little different than previous ones. Three days later no more pain. Her shot stung a little more than past shots but so far so good.

Dr Livingstone was pleasant and gave a fast and thorough evaluation, prescribed medication. If any subsequent needs for their service or office are needed, all bets are off. They are terribly disorganized, never return calls, pharmacy has impossible time for refills because they cannot reach them either. Big thumbs down.

I used to have one of the best surgeons who saved me twice. I called her my guardian angel. First reconstructive surgery in 1986 and 2014. It was time to find someone to keep me mobile through my rough life. Dr Livingstone has stepped in perfectly and operated on both hands. I don't think I've ever seen a doctor so respected by the people who work in the OR with her. She's friendly she educates and my hand surgeon from here on out. I highly recommend Dr Livingstone. I don't think I will ask her out for a drink on here but understand why one patient grading her did on here. Dude really? on health grade?

I went for a consultation about a month ago with Dr. Livingstone.....While she seemed to be pleasant and knowledgable the office has not returned one call after I had left at LEAST 3 messages!!!....I am scheduled to have hand surgery on but was looking to reschedule although that seems impossible!.....if this is any indication of how my surgery will go I might have to opt out....

If you want a good doctor and more so , office service after your procedure, go somewhere else. Months after doctor writes a prescription for therapy, it takes 12 days for the same office to pass it to me and my PCP. No call returns, no care, no knowledge of who is who in this office. Totally disappointed.

I have been searching for a surgeon qualified and knowledgable in how to repair my specific wrist injury. After seeing numerous surgeons claiming to know how to treat a scapholunate ligament tear and triangular fibrocartilage injury I feel confident in dr Livingstones approach/plan on how to proceed and I feel confident scheduling my surgery with her.
