Eva L.

Excellent visit. I couldn't be more happy. I went in with a painful trigger thumb and Dr Cheesman took care of it. He was WELL versed and knowledgeable answered all my questions, had a great sense of humor (helpful with a nervous patient) and offered a mostly pain free steroid injection to an already inflamed and painful tendon. I've had trigger thumb before in my other hand, and the treatment I got (in another state) was completely opposite of the experience I had with Dr. Cheeseman, so I went in expecting an extremely painful, necessary visit followed by a week of crushing pain and no work, and what I received was pain free and I went straight to work after the visit. I'm so grateful for finding ROC and Dr. Cheeseman.

Judy B.
