I injured my hands when I was in my 50s. In a bad economy Id popped a parachute that was colored "Home Remodeling." It worked well for me for quite a while. The problem I had was that my brain had not received the message (chose to ignore the message was more likely) that I was no longer in my 20s. After the third injury to my hands I learned to slow down. Dr. Lechner attended to me on all three occasions. The first injury involved me crushing the tips of a few fingers, not the entire tips, just that sensitive part underneath. The part we feel delicate things with. I required a skin graft, and Dr. Lechner did an outstanding job. The second injury required Dr. Lechner open the palm of one of my hands to remove a splinter. This wasnt just any old splinter. In fact, to call it a splinter is misleading. It was chunk of wood that I had slammed into the meat of the palm of my hand while hand sanding a deck. Dr. Lechner remove it cleanly with no scarring. You cant even tell he was in there. The third injury (I was getting to know Dr. Lechner pretty well by this time) was to a tendon of one of my fingers. I got in a hurry using a chainsaw. This injury only required a brace for a few weeks. I can always tell a doctor that loves his/her work, and Dr. Lechner is one of those. I hope I dont ever need a hand surgeon again, but if I do you can bet Ill be calling on Dr. Lechner. Im sending my older son to him to have a "splinter" removed from his hand now. Like father, like son.

My four visits with this doctor felt as if he was in a marathon race to fit as many patients in during a day. Im not looking to have my hand held during a hour long session, but honestly each visit felt like he was in rush to move onto the next patient. Each subsequent visit after the first, he barely remembered what my original issue was, reached for my wrong shoulder, and had gotten me confused with other patients.

Dr. Lechner did a wonderful job on my wrist surgery. Definitely recommend him and his office. Easy to talk to and very nice to deal with!
