        Dr Dawn LaPort is the Best. I have been coming in o see her for my thumb arthritis for years since before (2007) Dr Osgood helped me with my broken wrist. She preformed arthritis thumb surgery several years back and was great. I have absolute confidence in Dr LaPort as I approach arthritis surgery on my right thumb. I currently live near n FL but have no interest in looking for a Dr in FL. I will have her and no other Dr when it comes time for my next surgery next fall. She is the Best!!!!
