Has anyone had dealings with Dr Gloria Chin or Dr Cynthia Harding at Southeastern Hand Surgery? Heard some good comments about them, and was just curious. My family Doctor has given me a referrel to these Doctors. Have some tendon problems and trigger finger problems.

Yes - had dealings with Dr. Harding
Yes - excellent comments about them both
Yes - they are both brilliant hand surgeons, the very best.

My other half has severe osteo in both thumbs and then had his right hand seize up with trigger finger. She has made the osteo bearable and the trigger finger problem is gone. I also had trigger in my right thumb and first finger and she did both of those for me with a shot - wow, that hurts, but it works and I'll do anything to avoid surgery and so will the doctor. Surgery is last resort.

Very difficult to get an appointment with these doctors, have your own personal physician make your appointment for you, or wait weeks or even months.

Good luck.

Dr. Gloria Chin fixed my husband's carpal tunnel syndrome. Easiest, fastest surgery he ever had. I've seen Dr. Harding, as well. They are both highly capable.

I had Dr. Chin for a trigger finger problem...would have taken months to see Dr. Harding. She was most capable and delightful. She is primarily a hand surgeon. They are both big time animal lovers and have a totally lovely and fun office. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Curious about your husband's osteo repair - was it with surgery or cortisone shots or both? I agree those shots hurt like the devil, but if they work they give wonderful relief. Shots aren't working for me anymore.

Dr Harding did in-office surgery for trigger fingers on me and it was successful. I would recommend her and I have also heard good things about Dr Chin.
