Dr. Bierbrauer's Reviews

Short review. I have had only one visit with Dr. Bierbrauer, and was completely confident in his knowledge and expertise. He gave me an injection for stenosing tenosynovitis, also known as trigger finger. The condition has improved to the point that I don't believe I'll need surgery. Definitely keeping this doctor in mind should that be the case in the future. Really good doctor; left me with a very good feeling.

Dr Bierbrauer has a great "bedside" manner and always a pleasure to see, even though the needles still hurt!

Dr Brierbrauer made time for me in his very busy schedule as I was in significant pain, couldn’t even bend or use my thumb. It took him 1 minute to know I had ‘trigger thumb’ and gave me a cortisone shot to help with the inflammation. I’m on day 2 and my thumb already feels much better and there’s a lot less clicking when I bend and straighten it. I’m grateful to him, he was kind, thorough and heard me out. Highly recommend him and his staff!!

Dr. David Bierbrauer is incredibly knowledgeable and always takes the time to explain the research behind different treatment options. He never pressures me into a particular treatment and instead encourages me to do my own research and make informed decisions. I really appreciate that he listens to my questions, respects my perspective, and is always patient and willing to talk through my concerns. I highly recommend him.
