A Team That Understands Function First

Hand conditions affect daily life in a way few other concerns do, from a simple task like gripping a coffee cup to the fine motor skills your work may depend on. Because our team includes board-certified/eligible surgeons experienced in both hand surgery and cosmetic procedures, we bring the same precision to restoring function that we bring to any aesthetic result.

Functional vs. Cosmetic Hand Procedures

Most hand procedures, like carpal tunnel release or tendon repair, address function, relieving pain, restoring movement, or correcting an injury or condition. 

Hand rejuvenation is the exception, addressing the cosmetic effects of aging on the skin and tissue of the hands. Our surgeons are experienced in both.

Are Hand Procedures Right for Me?

If you're dealing with pain, numbness, limited movement, or a visible change in your hand or wrist, a consultation is the place to start. You don't need a diagnosis going in. Tell us what you're experiencing, and we'll help determine the right path forward, whether that's surgery, a nonsurgical treatment, or further evaluation.

The Consultation Process What to Expect

1. Private Consultation

We start by listening to your symptoms and concerns and reviewing your relevant health history.

2. Evaluation and Diagnosis

Your surgeon evaluates your hand or wrist to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment path.

3. Personalized Plan

Your surgeon builds a plan specific to your condition and goals, walking you through what your particular procedure involves.

4. Ongoing Partnership

Your surgeon and care team stay with you through the procedure and every stage of recovery that follows.

Your Results and Recovery

Recovery varies considerably depending on the specific hand procedure, from a short recovery for less invasive treatments like trigger finger release to a longer healing process for more involved procedures like peripheral nerve surgery. Once your procedure is determined, your surgeon will walk you through a detailed recovery timeline, along with what to expect at each stage and when you'll see full results.
