Hand Surgery

Our hands are vital to us. They help us perform everyday activities, which is why a loss of function of the hand or wrist requires special attention from doctors trained in the medical, surgical, and rehabilitative procedures of the hand, wrist, and forearm.

TPMG orthopedic hand surgeons are board certified and fellowship trained to specialize in diagnostics, treatment, and prevention of disorders in the hand, wrist, and elbow. Hands are a complex combination of nerves, blood vessels, bones, tendons, muscles, and ligaments that requires extensive specialized training to treat.

Patients are often seen by a hand surgeon if they have pain or discomfort, reduced range of motion, numbness, or increased redness or swelling that gets worse with activity in the hand or forearm. Treatment for hand disorders can be surgical or nonsurgical, depending on the injury or condition. TPMG hand surgeon, Dr. Nicholas Smerlis will work with you to find a treatment plan that fits your needs.
