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.

Broken Wrist
After being told by another ortho I was too old to have wrist surgery 72yrs I went for another opinion chose Dr Starr, he took a look & knew I needed surgery & my hand wouldn't have healed very well & I most probably wouldn't have full range of motion. He preformed my surgery plates & nails it healed beautifuly, & I have full function I'm a baker & def need both my wrists. The scar is so minimal you can not even see it, He is skillful, competent & compasionate qualities in my esperience that seemed long lost before engaging with Dr. Starr

Great Hand Doctor
Dr Starr diagnosed carpal tunnel syndrome and sent me to a nerve study specialist who confirmed that surgery was necessary. I'm two weeks into recovery and it's been easy with negligible pain. Dr Starr and the whole office are great!

First Office Visit
I was very impressed with the staff. All of them were so warm professional and they took very good care of me. Dr. Starr had the perfect chair side manners. Can't wait to go back for my follow up appointment. This medical practice is top notch in all facets.

Very impressed with Dr. Starr's immediate response to an urgent situation as the on-call doctor, and his surgical skills. Now I have two favorites at GA Hand - Dr. Seiler and Dr. Starr! Have confidence and trust in both of them. Also the presence of the onsite rehab department, including OT services, really enhances their practice - great care and ideas for home care, adaptations with aging, TLC. I often recommend these doctors and their practice to friends, colleagues, and my own patients.

Dr. Starr is the best! I had two different things causing my inability to write and draw. He explained everything so clearly, spent time asking me questions and came up with an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. I’m forever grateful to Dr.Starr. His office staff is a pleasure to deal with, too. I was seen promptly each time I had an appointment.
