Dr. Lakshman is board certified in surgery of the hand. He began his training in one of the busiest trauma centers in the nation working for three years in pre-requisite general surgery residency. Afterward, Dr. Lakshman worked for a year and half with a burn and wound care fellowship at the same institution. During this time, he learned to resuscitate burn victims and treat the terrible, painful and disfiguring scars caused by burns. He spent countless days and nights in the Burn ICU with patients suffering from post-burn infections and inhalational injury. Burn surgery is a challenging and rewarding field but it is 24 hour, 7 days a week commitment requiring ’round the clock patient care.
This intense experience in the surgical and ICU management of the most challenging and life threatening conditions experienced by surgical patients gave Dr. Lakshman a level of confidence and surgical skill that he now brings to every client in his hand surgery practice.

Following his general surgery fellowship, Dr. Lakshman held a year-long hand and microvascular fellowship. Dr. Lakshman spent countless hours in the microvascular lab as well as, under the operating microscope at the hand trauma center performing vascular anastomoses on blood vessels and nerves less than 1 mm in diameter (with suture materials finer then a human hair!) He was also trained to restore the intricate bones, ligaments, and critical structures of the human hand and wrist when devastated by industrial injuries.
