Orthopedics & Sports Medicine

Hand, Wrist & Elbow

Your hands, wrists, and elbows are critical in daily activity. They are also intricate and vulnerable to injury. Whether you suffer an acute injury or have a chronic condition, our Hand Center offers expert care and innovative interventions.


Hand Center: Hand, Wrist & Elbow Care

Our team includes three fellowship-trained specialists in hand, wrist, and elbow surgery, two experienced orthopedic APRNs, and occupational therapists who are specially trained in hand therapy. Together, they provide you with the latest treatment options that will get you better and back to life faster.

Services & Specialties

We offer the latest treatment options, including outpatient surgery that doesn’t involve a hospital stay. We also perform wide-awake surgery, replacing general anesthesia with a localized solution. With wide-awake surgery, you can drive to and from the procedure, eat before your surgery, and even return to work the same day. Patients of the Hand Center benefit from the convenience of having multiple services within the center, such as onsite casting, radiology, nerve conduction testing, and hand therapy.
