Great doctor. He carefully examined my broken hand and reviewed progress weekly with xrays and new temporary wrappings. Thanks to his careful work, I'm back to two hands!

More about Dr. Richard Sherwood, MD

Some examples are traumatic injuries, arthritis, repetitive use problems, birth defects, pinched nerves, and tendonitis. Although the field is known as “hand surgery”, richard_sherwoodmany of our patients do not actually need surgery. If something can be treated non-operatively, that is usually the first choice option and we proceed with some combination of medication, casting, rehabilitation, etc. Some patients need nothing more than reassurance that everything is “OK”. As a fellowship-trained specialist with 25+ years of practice experience, Dr. Sherwood has probably seen and treated your problem.
