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 Fasciotomy. His top areas of expertise are Rhizarthrosis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Trigger Thumb, Fasciotomy, and Osteotomy.

I am a vascular surgeon with Duke Health. I treat all vascular problems, but I primarily focus on problems involving arteries, such aneurysms or blockages in arteries that supply the brain, intestines, or legs. Vascular disease can be chronic and life altering. In my opinion, patients with vascular disease are extremely resilient. It was the resilience of patients with vascular disease that drew me to this specialty. I found the resilience and perseverance of vascular patients inspiring. I enjoy getting to know patients and their families and being a part of their story. I am originally for Washington D.C. I enjoy sports, grilling and spending time with my wife and two children. Dr. Southerland is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in Fasciotomy. His top areas of expertise are Peripheral Artery Disease, Gangrene, Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm, Fasciotomy, and Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG).
