Hand Surgery Specialists of Nevada

Dr. Daniel Kokmeyer provided excellent attention and care when I was referred to this practice in July 2017 with an unidentified infection in my right hand. A slow-growing bacterium presented itself 8 weeks after a large dog's claw had punctured my hand. Dr. Kokmeyer quickly scheduled a surgical biopsy procedure, submitted the sample to a lab which notified him of the bacterium infection. It would take 8 more weeks for the specimen to grow for clear identification of Chelonae mycobacterium. Meanwhile, Dr. Kokmeyer performed a second surgery to debride the area of damaged and affected tissue. He referred me to a Infectious disease doctor who took over antibiotic treatment, although none of the first 4 prescribed were effective. Following final identification, the combination of antibiotics infused daily through IV/PICC line, worked to stop the growth. Throughout this process, Dr. Kokmeyer, his nurse assistant, office workers, and in-house PT professionals worked together to meet my medical needs. They also worked with the IDD office, sharing information to provide the earliest and best treatment for me. Not something I wish for anyone to go through, but for those who need a wonderful physician and surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Kokmeyer and his staff. Please tell him I sent you. :)

I saw Dr. Fraser, nice lady and very efficient. Knew exactly what my problem was with my thumbs and started treatment immediately. Within two weeks the 'trigger' fingers I was suffering from was gone. Then I had her remove a cyst from my forearm. A little pricy, as insurance didn't cover much, but there is barely any scar and it's only been a month. Really good work !
