Dr. Helgemo’s personality is so God given. What a caring professional and second to none. Doctor totally put me at ease and explained everything, from my symptoms, surgery and recovery time, in a manner that I understood. He assured me several times that I am going to be fine. I am blessed to have found Dr. Helgemo!

From my first call for an appointment through my office visit, I was treated with kindness and care. The staff is very friendly and upbeat. Dr. Olarte really listened to me and took my issues into consideration when determining my best treatment options.

Excellent doctors and surgeons. Improved carpal tunnel infliction on right-hand and left hand. All procedures completed very efficiently, so a very positive experience with Dr. Olarte. I also should give a shout to the surgery center next to Dr. Olarte's office in Port Charlotte. I feel the doctor is only as good as the facility they work with, and both are top class.

Dr Helgemo is an excellent, talented,experienced and compassionate surgeon. In addition his entire support staff could not have been better. He and his practice get my highest recommendation.

Questions & Answers

Does one need a referral from their primary care physician in order to see the hand doctor?

It is your insurance that may require a referral, not the physician. Most HMO plans require referral, just call your insurance company and ask if a referral is needed and if the Dr you want to see is covered. Dr. Olarte is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

absolutely we do CMC joint surgery. It is the most common joint we treat and if our usually successfully non-surgical protocols aren't working, we are willing and able to treat this problem surgically. it is one of the most satisfying surgeries we do- for both the patient and doctor. resuming golf is an expectation
