Care Philosophy: My name is Dr. Christopher English. I am a board certified orthopedic surgeon with subspecialized training upper extremity and hand surgery. I treat all conditions of the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand. I have specialized training in hand and upper extremity surgery and have the most up to date training in arthroscopic wrist and elbow surgery, carpal tunnel surgery, and other minimally invasive and microsurgical techniques. I completed a residency in orthopedic surgery at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, New York. During this time I was awarded the Health Volunteers Overseas Traveling Fellowship (Peru) by the American Foundation for Surgery of the Hand.

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.
