About Dr. Rikesh Gandhi

Dr. Rikesh A. Gandhi is a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon specializing in hand, wrist, and elbow surgery. His expertise allows him to serve as a referral source for both common hand and upper extremity conditions, as well as complex reconstructive procedures. A native of Long Island, New York, Dr. Gandhi graduated with honors from Boston College and completed medical school at Duke University School of Medicine. Dr. Gandhi moved to Philadelphia to pursue his residency in orthopaedic surgery at the University of Pennsylvania, during which he was awarded grants from the American Foundation for Surgery of the Hand to study novel methods of measuring hand motion. He then completed an additional year of fellowship training in Hand and Microvascular Surgery at Harvard Medical School at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical in Boston, where he gained expertise in the latest hand trauma, microsurgery, and arthroscopic techniques. Dr. Gandhi treats a multitude of hand and upper extremity conditions, including overuse injuries, nerve problems, tendon injuries, arthritis, sports and work-related injuries, and fractures. He has additional expertise in endoscopic carpal tunnel release and wrist arthroscopy. “I believe a patient-centered approach is essential to quality care. I enjoy getting to know my patients and understanding their specific problems. I believe exploring nonsurgical and surgical options is necessary to find the right treatment. Ultimately, seeing my patients return to doing what they love drives my passion for hand surgery.”
