    My clinical practice is confined to Surgery of the Hand. I joined the medical staff of NSUH in 1980, when I first entered practice, and have combined clinical hand surgery with teaching and research ever since. In 1995 I joined the medical staff at LIJMC. In 2011 I left private practice and joined the fulltime Northwell Department of Orthopaedic Surgery as Orthopaedic Residency Program Director and Chief of Hand Surgery. Taking care of patients is my primary interest and motivation to go to work every day. My goal is to treat every patient with the most care, compassion, and skill that I can manifest. Currently, I treat patients with a broad range of hand problems from arthritis and deformity to carpal tunnel syndrome, other nerve disorders, benign tumors, and Dupuytren s Disease. I was recognized with an Arnold P. Gold Foundation Gold DOC award for skill, sensitivity, caring, and compassion. I have been listed yearly in Castle Connelly s Best Doctors since 1998. I have been active in national and regional professional organizations, having served on more than 20 committees of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH), the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery and other professional organizations. I have been an Associate Editor of the American Journal of Hand Surgery since 1991. I was an officer of the NY Society for Surgery of the Hand between 1996 and 2000 and was President in my final year. For Northwell Health, I am Chief of Hand Surgery at NSUH and LIJMC. I served as the Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program Director from 2011-2023. I have been involved at Zucker SOM at Hofstra/Northwell in many roles: President of the SOM Faculty Council and a member of the Dean's Advisory Group (2019 to 2021), former Departmental Advisor for medical students interested in Orthopedics, teach Structure to M2's, and assist with the clinical experience for medical students in their 3rd and 4th years. I was recently appointed Director of Academics for the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, and participate in and mentor residents and faculty members in clinical and basic science research. I have had considerable outside academic activity, with nearly 50 peer review publications, over 100 podium and poster presentations, and dozens of faculty presentations at national courses and meetings.

    What is the definition of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

    Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition in which there is excessive pressure on the median nerve at the wrist. This is the nerve that allows feeling and movement to parts of the hand. Carpal tunnel syndrome can lead to pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or muscle damage in the hand and fingers.

    When should I see a Carpal Tunnel Syndrome doctor in New York, US?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Carpal Tunnel Syndrome doctor in New York, US?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Carpal Tunnel Syndrome doctors in New York, US?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Carpal Tunnel Syndrome doctors in New York, US?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Carpal Tunnel Syndrome doctor in New York, US?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Carpal Tunnel Syndrome doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Carpal Tunnel Syndrome doctor in New York, US?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Carpal Tunnel Syndrome doctors in New York, US?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Carpal Tunnel Syndrome doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
