Biography: Dr. Schreck specializes in hand, wrist and elbow surgery.

As he went through his residency training, having an opportunity to see first-hand how someone can be helped by a hand-surgical procedure left no doubt in his mind that he would choose this field.

Returning function to patients with hand and upper-extremity related issues is extraordinarily gratifying, as virtually all people require use of their hands to a significant degree in their daily lives. In his free time, Dr. Schreck enjoys exercising and spending time with his family.
