As a hand and upper extremity specialist, I work with patients to understand their diagnosis and treatment options to provide the best possible outcomes. I believe in an individualized approach to treating patients based on listening to their unique needs and goals. I hope to share my knowledge and expertise to deliver the right care to the right patient at the right time. Retaining and regaining upper extremity function is an integral part of maintaining independence and having a healthy and active lifestyle.
