As Upper Extremity Specialists we strive to assist our patients regain and maintain their gainful use of the shoulders, elbows, wrists and hands. Our training has afforded us expert experience in treating newborns, children, adolescents, and adults of all ages from the fingertip to the shoulder, whether due to congenital, developmental, acquired, arthritic, post-traumatic or overuse conditions.  We do our best to ensure that personal and unhurried attention can be provided to each patient spending additional time teaching them about their problems so they leave with a good understanding of the cause, treatment, and prognosis for their condition. We individualize our treatments for each patient as each patient presents with their own unique circumstances leading to their condition often varying not only from occupation, recreation or hobby, but also from one limb to the other as each upper extremity typically specializes in different tasks based upon hand dominance.

 

Within our state of the art facility we offer Clinical, Rehabilitative and Surgical treatment for our patients accepting most insurances, private, worker's compensation, including state and federally sponsored programs. Although we are surgeons by training, we take pride in first guiding our patients through a well designed conservative treatment program, typically reserving surgical management for those patients that have exhausted their other options for splinting, medication, injections and/or therapy. When surgery is required, we take time to answer our patient's questions to their satisfaction and coordinate their procedure with skilled anesthesiologists at accredited facilities with postoperative plans of care to optimize their outcome.

 

Our goal is to provide the highest quality care to the patient using state-of-the-art techniques, by keeping up-to-date with current publications, meetings, and courses.
