He didn't take the time to actually listen to what my concerns were or what was going on. He only talked about one option (surgical) which I was not opposed to but he wasn't very informative.

He didn't take the time to actually listen to what my concerns were or what was going on. He only talked about one option (surgical) which I was not opposed to but he wasn't very informative. And wanted to do more than just remove the extra bone piece that was causing the issues but didn't explain why. He also didn't fully examine my joint until after he went to get the surgery coordinator's card and I was getting ready to leave as it was the end of the appointment.

Given that I am elderly with a known wrist fracture, I was so grateful to be appointed with a hand surgeon with Dr. Riel's qualifications. I truly felt a part of the decision-making that occurred, and Dr. Riel very patiently answered my questions then proceeded to answer some I didn't know I had.

Dr. Riel was concerned as to how the injections are continuing to work. I explained to him they last about 3 months now, but I said I'm not ready for surgery yet.
