It is true that sometimes you have to wait along time in waiting room to see Dr Patari past your appointment time. However I was dealing with wrist pain for 3 years (tear in TFCC, missing cartilage, bone spur and arthritis)
I had gone to doctors at Barrington ortho , Core orthopedic and others besides Rush and Northwestern Hospitals. None of them could help me or have any answers besides giving me cortisone injections that did not help. They didnt seem to care that I could not use my wrist/ hand/arm without terrible pain and weakness.
I would have to quit my job that required me to use my hands. Dr Patari was the only one that gave me hope and did surgery when I was expecting he would be like the rest and just want to give me a cortisone injection. No one mentioned any kind of surgery that he performed. I now have no pain and can fully use my wrist/ hand/ arm. I think of him and thank him everytime I can use my wrist as I could not before
