Overview

I have been practicing in hand surgery since 2002. I find the complex anatomy of upper extremity fascinating, hence my interest in hand surgery. The patient population I see ranges from toddler to patients in their 90s and beyond. My approach to taking care of patients is to take time to listen. I try to relate to my patients by finding out a bit about them other than what brought them in to see me. I find that by doing so, I can team up with my patients to treat their orthopaedic injuries and address their concerns arising from the injury or chronic condition. I find it gratifying to help my patients recover and humbling that patients trust me to be part of their recovery journey. Outside of work, I enjoy gardening, sewing and spending time with my family.

I have the opportunity to help restore function and allow patients to resume what they want and need to do. Some patients just need to understand their condition, while others may benefit from therapy or surgery. I treat conditions in the upper extremity, from the elbow to the hand. This includes common conditions, such as fractures, dislocations, and ligament injuries of the hand, wrist, or forearm. I also treat nerve compressions in the wrist or elbow, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or cubital tunnel syndrome, arthritis of the thumb, hand, and wrist, and tendonitis. I also see patients of all ages for less common conditions, such as vascular disorders and developmental and acquired conditions. Outside of work, I enjoy sports and spending time with my family. Dr. Hammert is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Rhizarthrosis. His top areas of expertise are Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Rhizarthrosis, Mononeuritis Multiplex, Fasciotomy, and Osteotomy.
