I have been to quite a number of physicians, both here and in Texas regarding the complicated and rare case with my hands, wrists and elbow. Dr. Gupta made me feel comfortable enough to agree to go ahead with the first surgery, assuring me that he could have both of my arms in working condition it was all over. I've never been able to use my left arm due to a birth defect, so although I am extremely nervous moving forward, I am confident with choosing him. I've always been a professional painter, even through the decades I've worked on camera in the television and film industry, which means I'm putting absolutely all of my faith in Dr. Gupta and his staff.

Doctor showed me on the x-ray where my wrist was fractured and how It had started to heal. Two other facilities, including an ED and hospital inpatient stay (not Norton) told me there was no fracture. I finally found out why the pain in my wrist continued 6 weeks after a fall caused the injury. Now wearing a wrist brace.
