I saw Dr. Miyano regarding concerns with my hands. Dr. Miyano was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. He explained causes and treatments in detail in terms easy to understand and explained the procedures that he would use to fix the issues. I really appreciated that he didn’t want to perform any unnecessary procedures and suggested instead to wait and see how my issue progressed to a point of them needing to proceed with a procedure to fix the issue. I would recommend Dr. Miyano to anyone having hand issues.

I consulted Dr John Miyano at Seattle Hand about my severe traumatic wrist arthritis. His evaluation was incredibly thorough, including taking on-site X-rays as well as reviewing my past studies. He explained my options in detail, including non surgical as well as surgical ones, and answered all my many questions as though he had all the time in the world. I left feeling completely satisfied and very impressed. I am a retired physician myself and recognize an absolutely first class practitioner when I see one. Dr John Miyano certainly belongs in that group.

I saw Dr Miyano several times before I decided to have hand surgery yesterday. He is the most empathetic, knowledgeable, and patient-centered physician I’ve ever met (I’m a RN, I’ve met many). I received excellent care yesterday from everyone involved! Christina, MA, attended to all the details and treated me and my husband like family. I highly recommend Dr Miyano and all his staff!
