Philosophy:
As a subspecialist my expertise is in healing your upper extremity problem. However I can never forget that there is more to you than just your hand or wrist. It is an easy trap that subspeciality doctors fall into all the time. As your doctor I have to slow down and listen carefully to you. I need to learn about your life and how your hand or wrist problem affects you. Then together we can work towards the best possible solution for you.
