Summary
- I am a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with fellowship training in hand and upper-extremity. I take care of adult and pediatric pathology from the shoulder down to the finger tips. I have specific training in the management of complex upper extremity fractures, nerve entrapments, Dupuytren's, upper extremity arthritis, tendinopathy including rotator cuff tears, and the latest in minimally invasive hand procedures. In fact, most of the small hand surgeries such as carpal tunnel releases, trigger finger releases, de Quervain's and finger ganglion excisions are comfortably and safely done wide awake with local anesthesia only with no additional pre-operative clearances.
I am a partner at South Florida Orthopaedics with offices in Stuart and Tradition. Please message me on Doximity or call my office at 772-288-2400 if you have any questions or need to discuss a case.
