Nothing but positive experiences with Dr Combs
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/7/2024
Dr. Combs took the time to explain my hand problem in a way that I understood. When I expressed some fears about the process, he reassured me that I would be fine. This meant a lot to me because I am fearful of surgery.

Dr. Combs is very personable as well as professional. I have used Dr. Combs for issues with my hand and always been happy with the results. Now we are working a shoulder issue. Dr. Combs cares about his patients and it shows! I would recommend him to all my friends.
