Reviews of Katranji Hand Center (Plastic Surgery)

Eric Clapton

I was experiencing severe carpal tunnel and had trouble typing at work. I found Dr Katranji on google and scheduled an appointment for the very next day. Reception was super friendly on the phone and managed to find a time that worked for my busy schedule. During the appointment, Dr. Katranji was very thorough and provided various pain-relieving massages. I've already scheduled regular appointments since I could feel a difference from that very first appointment!

Andrei Melenciuc

Very helpful staff and doctor, my issue was resolved very quickly.

Victoria Alzate

Amazing surgeon. he was very accommodating and answered all questions i have when he fixed my hands

Rebecca Reemsnyder

Still sitting in the lobby 1hr after appointment time. Apparently showing up to work on time as a docter is optional!

I love this guy i went to see him for torn tendons in my elbow years ago Recently broke my wrist and requested his office at the hospital had 3 surgerys on my hand so far he does a great job his staff is great as well

My boyfriend had an appt at 2 but we arrived 15 minutes early. At 3:45 we left because all they did was take his insurance card and id and he still hadn't been called back. That's a ridiculous wait time!!! And when he went to ask the receptionist at 3:25 when his appt was she said 2 as if nothing was wrong.... that is horrible service. This appt was in the middle of our day which is fine if they called him back within the hour but for someone to wait 2+ hours for their NAME to be called is ridiculous and who knows when his name was actually called and who knows how long he would have waited when he was finally taken back. Appts run behind but you should tell people I'm sorry we're running (x amount of time) behind and you'll be see in (x amount of time)

Everything about Dr katranji, his staff, and his office is horrible. He takes on way more than he can handle and he along with the rest of his staff have got to have the worst attitude in Lansing. If you can avoid going here trust the rest of these reviews and find somewhere else

the doctor (Katranji) was a good hand surgeon for me/ he helped fix my hand

Bryce Turgeon

Dr. Katranji has helped me so much from the beginning to the end of this process. The surgery went perfectly and after rehab I've never felt better.

Doc K

This place takes care of patients first. They take all comers and works hard to educate patients. The extra time spent makes a world of difference.

Excellent Doctor Helped fix my Hand and Answered All my question. Very Friendly.

I can’t say enough Great things about The Katranji Hand Center. From the moment I walked through the front door, the office staff was welcoming and friendly. Right through the registration process, (And Yes, the waiting period), and the actual office visit. When my time came, I was called to the back. The medical assistants were Johnny on the spot prepping me and taking vitals, entering information, taking X-Rays and etc. Truly Professional…. After a brief time, Dr. Katranji and an entourage of associates entered the room. Wow, I couldn’t believe how personable and friendly everyone was. Dr. Katranji spoke to me more on my level of understanding without all of the medical mumbo-jumble. He was straight to the point telling me what I needed to achieve full use of my hand once again. That did include surgery, from a serious dog bite. Then he briefly had a conversation Just trying to get to know me on more of a personal level. That means a lot to me. Day of surgery, I arrived at the hospital and on the way to get prepped, I passed him in the hall and he took his time to Joke a little and assure me everything was going to be just fine! Again, very personable. I was prepped and again he came in and told me what to expect through the process. And surgery went well and as expected. Before discharge from the hospital, in he comes again and has a brief but needed discussion on after care. I just had my first follow up visit yesterday 12/07/2018. Again, the same experience as the first. I can’t Say enough! I would highly recommend this place to any and all Friends & Family. p.s. If you do a little homework on Dr. Katranji, you will discover he’s one heck of a humanitarian and one hell of an individual. I salute You, Dr. Katranji.

John Adams

Absolutely wonderful hand surgeon! I had an injury on my ring finger that needed surgery and he walked me through all of the steps of the procedure and helped with my recovery as well. He is wonderful person and has checked up on me periodically asking how my ring finger is doing in terms of healing. Would highly recommend this doctor!

Jeffrey Smith

Doctor Katranji Made my hand look so much better! The surgery went smooth and the staff was very helpful! Would definitely recommend!

shawn muratov

my hand was badly injured in a car crash and Katranji has used his skill to get it back in a healthy state. I would highly recommend going to him for help

Lynda Miller

Doctor is extremely rude will never return he embarrassed my whole family and then yelled at his employees where the entire lobby could hear. While we had to walk out in shame. Update drs office sends an article saying the reason they were rude is because a mom let her kid lick something in a drs office. And to take my review down...... 1st thing I don't care what another mom let her kid lick, my children were taught better and I don't know where stuff in the office has been you better believe it's not going in my kids mouth. 2. We have special circumstances that required all of us to be in the room. A person with disabilities gets special accommodations I even explained the situation after I was kicked out of the room and still no one cared. 3. I put this review up because it was the truth. The situation was handled inappropriately and others should know. This office should have made special accommodations for the patients disability. 4. This doctor acted horribly. How dare you yell at your staff in front of patients. They weren't even the ones who allowed it to happen, but you yelled sry then anyway. Maybe if you respected you employees and patients you wouldn't get reviews like this. 5. Hope you enjoy your extended review now. Please don't send me any more articles about "other" parents

Kara Walter

Dr. was rude, surgery did not go well and office staff just ignores you

joshua lenneman

Second appt here and had to wait over an hour past our scheduled appt time. Staff was very unpleasant and condescending! I gave them the benefit of the doubt the first time, but when my experience was the same this time I was definitely not impressed! I recommend finding a different Doctor!

Katranji is an awesome hand surgeon. After injuring my hand and restricting my daily activity, he was able to restore it back to normal. Staff was very kind and helpful through everything. Highly recommended.

Chief Scott Hillerman

Dr Katranji is one of the best hand surgeons i know, he has done miracles for my wife in the last 2 yrs.

Tomi Flag

Katranji was a fantastic hand surgeon! After a terrible accident he was able to restore my hand back to its full beauty. Everyone there was so nice and helpful through the surgery. They answered all my questions and made me feel welcomed. I would definitely recommend doctor Katranji

Tyler Laudenslager

My son went here for a injury. I have to say the Dr. and his staff went above and beyond. Every one was polite, and even the office manager helped comfort him. They are Great with kids. I referred a few people and they all have had great experiences. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

byung choi

I highly recommend this center. Dr. Katranji is an awesome surgeon, and the staff there are great. He takes his time to explain every step and answers all your questions and concerns. I'm very grateful for my successful hand repair.

Brandon Ramsay

Went here to get finger surgery and he did a great job and the entire staff was great. I would definitely recommended this place to friends and family.

Amber Lynne Fletcher-Reynolds

Long wait. 15 minutes early for paperwork. Then still sitting over an hour!

Kareem Katranji

Never had such an amazing docter

Andy Rozell

Great surgeon, great person. Most of the office staff pleasant and professional. Was recommended to me, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Bisxxm

This place is amazing! I have received amazing support throughout the entirety of my time being treated by Dr. Katranji. I have a mild case of arthritis in my hands, more specifically in my knuckle area on both hands, and i have came to Dr. Katranji for my past few treatments and it genuinely feels like i have never even had these problems. He literally helped fix my hand its insane !!! I placed all of my trust in Dr. Kantranji's surgical skills and i will continue to do so.

Marie Decator

Dr. K is a wonderful hand surgeon and a wonderful person. He is honest, unique and understanding. He is the only doctor I have ever met that takes the time to let the patients in the waiting room know why he is running late and they all think he’s great and do not mind the wait. It was refreshing to hear such great comments. There are times you may have to wait a considerable amount of time for his arrival for surgery but he is worth the wait. You won’t be sorry you chose him for your surgeon.

Katranji was a very good doctor and helped fix my hand.

Would recommend this place to anyone in need of a specialist. About two months ago I fell onto my right hand while skateboarding. The area between my thumb and index finger hurt from the fall, it felt like something was pulled/strained. It hurt to use my thumb for a little while so I decided to come here. In just the first visit I was taught steps for proper recovery and had a clear idea of why it hurt. I returned for a checkup once the pain went away to make sure I healed correctly and that was the end of it. I personally would return again.

Leighton Harden

Dr. Katranji was very helpful and helped me get back to playing baseball again by fixing my hand! So grateful for this man!

Jayden Kim

This guy is a beast. The best hand surgeon I have been to, Dr Katranji helped fix my hand injury in under 2 months. Recommended!

Rosa Williams

This place is rediculous why schedule someone and then have them wait so long and staff is so rude and annoying. This is so unprofessional would never recommend tHis place to anyone. Did I mention his nurse practitioner was high on our first visit couldn't sit still was confused schedule us for surgery then call an hour later to cancel and reschedule the date because they felt the doctor should have seen us from the beginning so here we are 2nd time and last time I definitely will be complainin.

HongJie Lin

Doctor Katranji is an amazing hand surgeon! 10 months ago, I got into a car accident, my left wrist was completely broken, and I found out this hand center, where the workers treated me nicely and answered all my questions. Doctor Katranji somehow was able to cure my hand, and now it feels like I have never injured it. Thanks Katranji, I definitely recommend this place!

Kandi Bebow

My appointment was August 24, 2018. I seen the nurses and they are quick to diagnose a problem. I seen the doctor he was very thouroughand quickly assessed the problem ( not what nurses thought) and the doctor was nice and said we would have to do surgery. The scheduler wasntw in til Monday. I said okay. I called Monday left message, she called me Tuesday left a message, I have called everyday since then. It Is September 12,2018. And i get the same answer ever time. She is on break I'll give her the message, she is on lunch I'll give her the message after a few weeks of being blown off. I contacted my doctor office an asked to be seen by another doctor. Now I have to go through the waiting period all over again. Now I'm thinking I dodged a bullet because if his surgery is anything like his office personal, i Iwould be screwed! Horrible service! Rude secretaries! And nurses quick to jump to a diagnosis! Oh I seen Dr. Huettner when I was here. He was a great doctor, very good and very polite. It was everyone else that needs work! I wish I could leave zero stars but had to chose one star to leave a message.

jin xinbo

helpful and knowledge! took good care of me!

Roxanne Hoyland

Just found out that my husband will need surgery again from a different doctor because this one is a quack. Do NOT go there. Doctor comes out after surgery and says, I had to pull on a vein when I cut open your husband well come to find out is was a tendon. RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN. He does not take responsibility for this either plus trying to charge his the office visit that THEY canceled, which I will not be paying. Even the staff are very rude. I may have to find a lawyer because he has to be stopped, He does not know what he is doing. Even my husband regular doctor has stopped sending patients to them because he is getting to many complaints. I had to give them one star so I could post but if there was a minus 20 I would give them that

Sohrab Dhillon

Props to this place for having a great surgeon like Dr Katranji, i'm very happy with my experience of his hand surgery, really helped me with my hand.

Kimberly johnson

after Dr. Stephen Ereg left. Katranji never even reviewed my xrays. This guy just likes to bill insurance without even reviewing patients diagnosis. Dr Ereg was thoughtful and thorough reviewing xrays and showed genuine concern for my well being.

Randy Davis

On unorganized office , I was seen in the office on Monday and they called on Wednesday to schedule an appointment . Dr. was confused as to how to treat a lacerated tendon.wrapped it up and told me to come back in a week. said he would check In his tendon book. Do NOT use this office.

Melissa Thurlby

Phenomenal surgeon. Wait time is a little long but that tells me he takes his time with his patients.

Leslie Frazier

Horrible, most unprofessional Dr. and staff. Always long wait. Dr Katranji is never in the office. Surgery was a major failure.

Jon Herrmann

I had an accident and completely severed my right extensor tendon, but for the first few days I thought it wasn't that bad. Still, I took ER's advice and sought a hand specialist. I wish I had called Katranji right away, but I relied on these Google reviews and was deterred by a few negative ones. So I called a different place. The problem is, the other place requires a referral just to schedule an appointment - which is a terrible policy in my opinion (Katranji doesn't require a referral to make an appointment). So I had to wait over a week just to get in to see my PCP first. That was discouraging because I found out later that surgery on this tendon should be performed within a week. But at least when I did see my PCP, they recommended Katranji instead. By the time I saw Dr Katranji it had already been two weeks since the accident (2 days before I called PCP, 8 days to get in to see them, and 4 more days to see Katranji because the appointment was made on a Friday). I'm grateful that Dr. K and his staff were as forgiving as they were knowledgeable. Because of the time that had elapsed I was concerned, but the doc told me it was fine, and was a relatively easy procedure. Surgery was two days later at McLaren. It went great and I'm on the mend with minimal pain. To summarize, everything that took place once I saw Dr. Katranji was positive, and his staff was kind and professional as well. I'm very grateful. Added bonus: I'm a musician and require the use of my right thumb, index, and middle finger. Luckily I still have full use of those fingers while the rest of my hand heals!

Stacy Hines

Horrible experience.. Will Never go back..

Cheryl Bishop

Never returns your phone call

Steve Zumberg

Although the office staff was disorganized at times, the care from Dr Hoettner and Dr Katranji was thorough, both in taking the time in the evaluation and diagnostic procedures, as well as giving us the time and details post surgery. I feel they give you their full attention rather than rushing through. Take early apointments to avoid the back up.

Dan Cast

This place is horrible, I had a 345 appointment, arrived at 3:30 finally left at 5:30. I got a bill in the mail for my co-pay, I called my insurance company and I filed a grievance because they were charging for services they did not conduct. The doctor says that he examined me which was a straight out lie! And insurance fraud. And only Dr office ive been to where they require you to pay your copay before being seen, I guess its to keep you waiting !

Tom Thornton

Great place to go for your carpal tunnel issues. I felt very at ease as the Dr. explained what was going to happen and the end result was great!!!

Gwen Allen

Went in because I found out I have Carpal Tunnel in both hands. They schedule my surgery in December but when I got to hospital they said they told them they didn’t accept my insurance so they couldn’t do it and I’d have to pay for half the surgery right then. So after being there for 4 hours I finally left and they said they would reschedule so I could get it done never happened iv called multiple times and they say they will call back but don’t, it’s not April and still haven’t had my surgery done. And I called back again and they said they had to reschedule me again to come in because it’s been so long, did I ever get a call back nope, this place sucks, I would never recommend them to anyone.

Green Buddy

My mother-in-law went there several weeks ago and was treated quite poorly. Needless to say she won't be going back. We found another surgeon with much better bedside manner.

John Howell

Was in a motorcycle wreck in May of 2016 and Sparrow sent me to see a guy from MSU Surgery who did absolutely nothing, in fact he treated me very poorly. Was told there was nothing that MSU was able to do. Dr Katranji asked different questions and actually listened to the answers I gave. Had surgery on January 15th and my hand has not felt this good in over a year!!! Thank you Dr Katranji!!!!

Timothy McDaniel

Excellent hand surgeon! Wonderful repair of torn ligaments in hand after boating accident. Courteous staff and people. Answered all questions and very respectful. Highly recommend!

Amber Dashkovitz

I wish it were possible to leave zero stars... the most unprofessional staff running the place. Appt after appt they continue to disappoint me. 1. They've had me wait over 1.5 hours to be seen when they guaranteed me at time of scheduling I would be out at a certain time 2. They hounded me for a $500 payment at my follow up visit, when I had never even received my first bill for the surgery and then tried to demand payment before I left. 3. Next follow up they schedule me for... I show up at 8:50am and they inform me there is no one there today to see me... but they claimed they called me last night after 6pm to tell me, but didn't leave a message... and I have NO missed call! All the while this is my missed time from work!!! What makes it infuriating is all the while they are rude and inconveniencing... They are frowny-faced, unapologetic, and just flat out don't care. There is no customer service, I can't believe they run a business this way. Terrible.

Sagar Gupta

Dr. Katranji has been so helpful to me and my family. His gratitude and generosity will never be forgotten. My injury had left me unable to accomplish the simplest task, but with his help and his teams support it couldn't have been a smoother recovery. He kept my family and me calm and informed on everything that was happening. I could never be more thankful for someone like him to help with my injury.

Judy DeCamp

I accompanied my husband to The Katranji Hand Center. I was impressed with the nice and clean facility to start, Very friendly staff, from the receptionist, medical assistants to the Doctors. Very pleasant and Extremely Professional. My husband and I are very pleased and would definitely recommend this place to anyone needing Great Surgeon with a professional, passionate team of wonderful people. BTW! I'm somewhat appalled by some of the negative reviews some ignorant and arrogant people thinking they shouldn't have to wait past their appointment time and beyond . What is wrong with you people? This is NOT a cattle farm where your herded in and out just to make a quota and a buck, So get your panties out of wad folks and just take a seat like the rest of us and wait. Errrrrrr! These people truly care and they take time with their patients. !!!!!!

Mihir Shah

Was a great help. Was having some serious issues but he kept me calm and treated me like family. They really took care of me and couldn't be happier with the treatment. Highly suggest!
