Hand/Wrist
Millions of Americans suffer from problems of the hand and upper extremity. With more people relying on computers for work and play, and with the skyrocketing popularity of computer games, carpal tunnel syndrome is a growing problem.
Hand and wrist dysfunction can be triggered by arthritis, a sports injury fracture or an accident. It can be work-related or a congenital disorder. In every case, expert care for your hands and wrists is vital.

Our doctors have undergone an additional year of fellowship training to be granted certification in hand surgery. Our expert physician diagnoses and monitors your progress.
