Have a screwed up finger from an old injury that I'm trying to get fixed while I have health insurance. Does anyone know of a good orthopedist they would recommend? Or anybody that I should 100% avoid?

Thanks!

Kubiak did the fix when I shattered my knee cap. I think he did great for what he had to work with. Word is he's also a hard sport climber so he knows what the expectations are which I felt was a big plus to have in a doc. Not sure if he works on fingers.

Dr. Coleman at the U Orthopaedic Center is awesome. He tacked my ulnar collateral ligament back down in my hand after blowing it in Zion and did an awesome job. He's a hand specialist and has also helped me out with (climbing related) wrist problems.

From my surgery experiences, go with a hand specialist if you can.

Great guy, not a cuter unless it's absolutely needed. He did cut me because I had lacerated a nerve, it went as well as it can.
