I am a hand and upper extremity surgeon who believes in empowering my patients, and working with them in a shared decision making framework to come up with the best treatment plan for each person. I believe in educating not only the patient but their support system in optimizing both non-operative and operative treatment for your individual condition to achieve the best outcome possible.
