OsteoarthritisofHand near Newark, DE

Care Philosophy: Dr. Eon Shin possesses a deep enthusiasm for the practice of hand surgery, not only for the concrete, three-dimensional thinking needed to understand the upper extremitys function, but because of the immediacy of the interventions and the capacity to enhance peoples lives in a significant way. Interventions are sometimes as simple as a corticosteroid injection into a tendon sheath. Other patients may need multiple reconstructive surgeries to regain use of a damaged limb. Dr. Shin and his physician assistant, Lauren Moody PA-C, enjoy being able to help all people at different stages of life and approach every patient with the utmost dignity, respect, and professionalism.
