Care Philosophy: Your hands are how you interact with the world. Restoring full function to your hands is essential after an injury, and I use a wide array of surgical and non-surgical methods to treat traumatic and degenerative conditions. While I love performing surgery and see excellent surgical outcomes, I prefer to try non-surgical treatments for most conditions before jumping straight to surgery, as each surgery comes along with its own risks. For patients with a clear need for surgery, though, I can usually schedule surgery within just a few days.Hand injuries and problems can be debilitating, so I offer telehealth appointments for select conditions, and same- or next-day in-person appointments to get you on the path to healing as soon as possible.
