Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

For more than 20 years, Kurt has trusted Kelsey-Seybold Clinic with his care, and for over a decade, he’s relied on KelseyCare to help make that care accessible, coordinated, and affordable.

Kurt first came to Kelsey-Seybold when problems with his hands began interfering with everyday life. His fingers would lock when he tried to close his hands, and the pain and numbness eventually became so severe it woke him up at night. He was diagnosed with bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome.

His first surgery was done at a surgical center, and while it successfully relieved his symptoms, it required anesthesia, a ride to and from the appointment, and a full day of anesthesia recovery.

Several years later, when the same symptoms worsened in his other hand, Kurt’s physician offered a different option: a mini open carpal tunnel procedure that could be performed right in the office. The approach meant no surgical center, no anesthesia, and no need for someone else to drive him home.

The procedure was quick, recovery was minimal, and Kurt experienced the same relief without the nighttime pain or numbness. He returned to work the next day and was back to using his hand within days. His out-of-pocket cost was limited to a specialist co-pay.

What stood out most to Kurt was that his doctor followed up personally the next day and took time to consider not just the medical outcome but also his comfort, time, and cost.

For Kurt, Kelsey-Seybold delivers care that works: effective, thoughtful, and designed to fit real life.
