Summary
- I am a board-certified hand surgeon specializing in minimally invasive surgery such as endoscopic carpal tunnel release, trigger finger release, and de quervain's release. I have also developed some unique stem cell rejuvenation techniques for the arthroscopic treatment of thumb arthritis. My main interest is minimally invasive techniques which reduce pain and improve recovery quicker than traditional techniques allowing the patients to resume normal activity quicker than other traditional techniques. I have also founded Bio-Med Nutrition where I developed NeuroGen nerve supplement, which has demonstrated decreased nerve pain, improved nerve regeneration, and overall greater improvement in nerve function. This has significantly reduced discomfort after nerve surgery and allowed an even quicker return to work activity compared to control groups without the supplement. We have published two papers so far demonstrating improved recovery after ECTR using NeuroGen with a greater reduction in symptoms and improved strength compared to ECTR without the supplement.
