All of the Surgeons have also completed an Orthopedic Residency and an additional year of training in Surgery of the Hand and Upper Extremity.
The Seattle Hand Surgery Group® is dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment and care of hand, wrist, elbow and upper extremity injuries and disorders. Whether you suffer from a chronic disorder, a deformity, or have the misfortune of an acute injury, it is the sole focus of the Seattle Hand’s Orthopedic Surgeons to ensure high-quality, comprehensive treatment and a speedy recovery.
Your visit to Seattle Hand is supported by our convenient, in-clinic x-ray imaging center, and should follow-up therapy care be warranted, treatment at the adjacent Seattle Hand Rehabilitation Clinic. While most patients benefit from conservative treatments, in the event surgery is required, the Seattle Hand Surgery Unit offers a safe, comfortable, and convenient setting for outpatient surgeries. Should more comprehensive surgery needs arise, the Seattle Hand Surgeons are all privileged providers at several area hospitals including the adjacent Swedish Hospital and the Swedish Orthopedic Institute.
