Erica J. Gauger

Overview

I chose to specialize in hand and upper extremity surgery because I enjoy treating a wide variety of patient conditions, from fractures and tendon lacerations to chronic conditions like arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome. Our hands are such an important part of how we interact with the world, and I take great pleasure in helping to maximize my patients' function while minimizing pain. I like treating patients of all ages, from small children to the elderly.
