I am happy to note that I am beyond thankful and pleased with the outcome of my surgical procedure from Pasadena Surgeons.

In March of 2021, I had a trigger thumb issue and in searching for a hand specialist, came across Dr. Shankar Lakshman, when he was affiliated with the Orthocenter Medical Group. Not too long after, I spoke with Dr. Lakshman about having issues with numbness with two of my fingers on my left hand. He then referred me to Dr. Girard, a Neurologist, for testing. Come to find, I had to have surgery and July of 2021 was my scheduled date. With the help of my doctor and staff, surgery went well. About three weeks post-op, I was going to Thera Ex for physical therapy. Meanwhile, getting paperwork in order for State Disability Insurance, I was told to no longer go to the Orthocenter Medical Group and see Dr. Lakshman directly in his other office, Pasadena Surgeons. Since I needed my disability paperwork filled out, I decided to do a walk-in. There, I came across a very engaging and helpful receptionist, Diana. She had a kind and nurturing way about her, I felt like I had known her for years. With coming from recovery into an unfamiliar environment, this was very comforting. I filled out my information as a new patient and was told that the Office Manager would get back to me in a timely manner because she was not available at the time. Alba is the Office Manager. A highly organized, helpful, and accommodating individual. After the office tour, I realized that Dr. Lakshman was not only a Specialist for the Hand, but also a Cosmetic, Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Specialist. Dr. Lakshman would see me monthly for follow-up. I was off work for a period of four months. When I finally went back to work, I was able to feel my fingers again. Surgery was a success!!

It has been a pleasure getting to know all of them. It feels like a family environment. They are all so pleasant and I have comfort in knowing I can see Dr. Lakshman for my trigger thumb, if needed. They will go above and beyond to fit me in his schedule. I have the utmost respect and fondness for each of them. I would highly recommend Dr. Shankar Lakshman, Pasadena Surgeons. Thank you.
