_______________________________________________________________
As an upper extremity orthopedic surgeon, I take care of problems related to the hand, shoulder and elbow. I listen to my patients with compassion to fully understand their problem. Then I perform a thorough examination and use appropriate tests to reach an accurate diagnosis. I can do x-rays and diagnostic ultrasound in my office as well as ultrasound guided injections. I provide cutting edge treatment supported by the latest literature available. I perform minor procedures such as mass excision (remove lumps) and trigger finger release with ultrasound guidance in my office. For the patient, this is convenient and cost effective. My goal is to get you back to your activities quickly and safely.
