Testimonials
What Patients Are Saying
I badly damaged the ring finger on my right hand. The end of the finger was broken and dislocated. The finger was cut completely around. It required 23 stitches in the Emergency Room to hold it together. There was a very good chance I would loose the finger. Dr. Kish was able to put a pin in the finger to keep the bone together and save the finger. I highly-rated Dr. Kish for saving my finger.

Dr. Kish was very personable and friendly. The examination was thorough and he provided a solution that could result in being temporary or permanent. No further alternatives were discussed but would be reevaluated after six weeks.
