We believe in meeting patients' individual needs through comprehensive evaluation and treatment. We combine leading edge techniques with proven traditional methods to provide our patients with the best orthopaedic hand/wrist/elbow care possible.
I work to develop a partnership with my patients.We develop a dialogue, through which patients understand the diagnostic process, their own unique problem, their treatment choices, and the recovery process.
I explain every step of the diagnostic process. I explain how various treatments can improve or repair the problem. When we consider treatment options, I present a realistic outlook on the results we can achieve.
Our purpose is to handle each and every patient visit with care and proficiency. It is my responsibility to make sure patients are well informed about their conditions and the treatment choices available.*

What is Hand Surgery?
Hand surgery may be performed by a general surgeon, an orthopedic surgeon, or a plastic surgeon after illness or injury, or to repair a congenital condition. A hand surgeon has special training in medical, surgical and rehabilitative means of healing the hand and arm, and sometimes recommends a non-surgical approach. The surgeon excels at diagnosis, preservation and restoration to the form and function of the hand, wrist and arm after disorders such as carpal tunnel, arthritis, fractures, tendonitis, or when amputation is required.
