In this patient testimonial, Charles shares why he came to Robert M. Campolattaro, MD for a second opinion about ongoing hand pain. He describes the specialized care he received, including how Dr. Campolattaro spent time understanding his symptoms and goals before recommending a treatment plan that included surgery. Charles also talks about his post‑surgery recovery, including physical therapy, and how he was able to get back to the work and activities he enjoys—like swinging a hammer and using his saw—and returning to the life he loves.
