With a clinical practice that spans the range of upper extremity pathology, I have advanced training and interest in the newest techniques for hand and wrist trauma, arthritis of the upper extremity, nerve compression syndromes including carpal tunnel, tumors around the hand and arm, and repetitive stress injuries. The trend is towards less invasive procedures to allow more rapid return to work, sports, and daily activities. Surgery is just one option; many of these diagnoses can be successfully managed without surgery with a coordinated approach including therapy, medications, and patient education. Even though my focus is on the upper extremity pathology, it is important to recognize that these problems commonly affect the whole patient - their work, recreational activities, and even simple daily tasks - and their treatment must be undertaken in that context.

Sound Hand & Orthopedics
Although the mind may be where we determine how we shape our lives, we need our hands to put these plans into action. The hand is a complex and delicate part of the human anatomy. Innovative treatments are constantly being developed while existing strategies continue to evolve. I have been fellowship trained in advanced hand surgery and work hard to master the newest proven techniques in order to give you the best treatment options that are currently available. Every patient faces unique challenges and demands. I seek to understand the specific impact your condition has on your life and use this as the guiding principle in determining your most effective treatment. The first step in this process is listening. The second is patient education so that you understand your problem as well as your options. Both nonoperative and operative strategies may be available. Together, we can determine what will work best for you. I strive to maintain open communication with frequent opportunities to ask questions and review progress.
