A number of years ago I took a fall and turned my hand into a pound or so of ground meat in a nanosecond. Some years prior to that I had had a trigger finger repaired up north (long finger) which was wrecked in the fall. Received superb emergency care at at TV Regional Hospital that roughly straightened out my broken fingers, fixing dislocation and putting tendons back where they belonged—in other words a real mess. ER would not discharge me until they had an appointment with Dr Harding in place for the following day.

Simply put, Dr Harding gave me my hand back! It did take more than one surgery, including a redo of the trigger finger procedure. Many physicians prolong the number of procedures because Medicare generally won’t pay for more than one on the same day. Not Dr Harding, who did as much as she could with each visit to the OR. Let’s just say that I had done a ‘good job’ on myself, followed by Dr Harding doing an extraordinary job fixing my ‘good job’….

And besides being an exceptional hand surgeon, she is a lovely, caring and compassionate human being. And her office is conveniently located in Lady Lake near Home Depot. Unless an emergency, you might have to wait for an appointment—but she is worth the wait! 352-751-0981.
