    Dr. Allyn Donald was ok but I asked him to help me with a court document and he refused for no reason other than the fact that I was not under his care at the initial court date. He could have stated that I was only under his care for a set period and explained that I would miss any future appointments until I healed.

    I understand that Dr. Allyn is very good at what he does and that he has done this type of surgery a lot. But I have not!! I would have liked more details about the surgery, what my hand would go through during the healing process and what I should expect as a final outcome. Right now I am not satisfied with the final result. I still can't extend my fingers, my hand can't lay flat and the palm is still swollen and puffy. With the current result, I would not have elected to do this surgery. Hopefully it will improve, but right now I'm not happy with the outcome.
