Our Hand Center Services
Cyst Removal: Hand surgery for cyst removal is a medical procedure used to eliminate
benign growths such as ganglion or synovial cysts that develop in the
hand. These cysts, which are typically filled with a gel-like substance,
can cause discomfort, pain, or impede movement, although they can also
be asymptomatic.
Trigger finger: Trigger finger surgery, formally known as trigger finger release surgery,
is a procedure designed to address the condition known as stenosing tenosynovitis,
commonly referred to as "trigger finger." This condition is
characterized by one of the fingers or thumbs getting stuck in a bent
position, then suddenly straightening like a trigger being pulled and
released. It is caused by inflammation or nodules in the flexor tendon
sheath of the finger.
Hand Surgery: Our expert hand surgeons are skilled in performing a variety of surgical
procedures to treat conditions such as fractures, ligament injuries, nerve
compression and more. With their extensive experience and advanced techniques,
you can trust that your hands are in capable hands.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment: If you experience numbness, tingling or weakness in your hands and fingers,
you may have carpal tunnel syndrome. Our Hand Center provides specialized
care for this common condition, offering both conservative treatments
and surgical options when necessary.
Hand Surgery for Arthritis: Arthritis can affect the small joints of the hands and wrists, leading
to pain, swelling, and reduced mobility. Our hand specialists are well-versed
in managing arthritis-related hand issues and can help you find relief
and improved joint function.
Wrist Surgery: Our team of orthopedic surgeons is highly skilled in wrist surgery, addressing
various wrist conditions like fractures, sprains, and chronic pain. We

to have their surgeries performed in the office rather than a surgery center.
Patient benefits from an in-office procedure:
Patients save money (no surgery center expenses or the expenses of using
full anesthesia protocol)
No fasting required
Patients can drive themselves to the appointment
Patients can remain awake for the procedure (under localized anesthetic)
Sped-up recovery time
However, we understand that some patients would prefer to not be awake
for their procedure and we do still offer surgical procedures at our
surgery center as well.
