Thomas E. Stauch's Online Review Report Card

I had surgery on My foot with doctor Palumbo and I was very pleased. The purpose for one star is because I attempted to use doctor Stauch for my hand issues and previously multiple years ago had a hand surgery but I have injured the hand that had surgery not related to the previous surgery and I have been denied to come to doctor stauch office for repair that hand. I am told that I now need to go back to the surgeon that originally operated on my hand for a completely unrelated issue and this surgeon is more than an hour from my current home. Awful to deny patients for new procedures when hand selected.

We were able to get an appointment very quickly. Our wait time was extremely short. The office staff were friendly and competent. We loved Dr. Stauch. He was willing to listen to my husband go on way too long, explained very clearly what the problem was and was very clear about what we could expect and how to deal with the issue. Highly recommend.

Dr. Stauch listened to my concerns and explained the choices to make my thumbs and shoulder more comfortable. First cortisone shot was a breeze and had good results. Second shot was more painful but if it reduces the pain I’m ok with that.

Very efficient office. Personable and knowledgeable doctor. A joy to visit, if it were not for the reason for being there. Highly recommend.

I visited Dr. Stauch on 6/3/20 to obtain a shot for a"trigger finger" malady. The entire process of checking in, completing account details and the visit with Dr. Stauch was superb. The appointment was scheduled for 3:20 pm and that was the exact time the Dr. met with me. Given the extra precautions necessary due to the pandemic, executed in a timely manner by all employees, was indicative of a well trained and organized operation. The most pleasant development was after the finger shot was given I informed Dr. Stauch I had yet another malady: a bruised shoulder. Without hesitation, he ordered X-rays be taken, after which he made an examination informing me nothing was broken but appeared to be a rotator cuff malady. From there he proposed additional steps. In brief, Dr. Stauch did a great job, with a high degree of professionalism and orthopedic expertise.

Finger doctor doesn't fully listen to the issues been having. He just keeps telling my husband give a few months and it will work itself out. Well I have to make another appointment bc it hasn't worked itself out he has been in pain and the finger looks nasty.

all the staff from the front office to the doctors are very courteous professionals and give prompt quality service. the orthopaedic center isthe place to go whenyou need orthopaedic care

Not impressed. I went to him for what he may have considered a minor issue, but it was important to me. I use my hands for detailed , precision work. He dismissed my earnest questions with an air of arrogance and laughed at my concern that it might be connected to another health issue I have. Recently, in doing research in Pubmed I found out that there was indeed a connection between both my health conditions. He said, "You're going to need surgery". Maybe, but not by him.

I moved to the area with a fracture which had not healed after a year of treatment. Stauch was recommended. I was informed by the office he would not see me until I provided all xrays, records which I did along with current status of continued swelling and pain and inability in regard to any activity involving lifting, range of motion, weight bearing, etc. I received a call from his office saying he could not help me tho he provided no assessment or xray. No explanation was provided.

Dr. Stauch is very knowledgeable, professional, intellegent and kind. He gives treatment options, explains them well and proceeds according to patient wishes. I chose the less painful treatment option, leaving open the possibility of the more painful options if this does not solve my problem. I would not go to another hand/arm/shoulder doctor or surgeon, I trust him completely.
