About Me
As a hand surgeon at 做厙TV Langone, I am committed to achieving the best outcomes for my patients by employing a comprehensive approach that includes splinting, casting, occupational therapy, injections, and surgical procedures. I find it incredibly rewarding to engage my patients actively in their care, ensuring they understand their condition and participate in decision-making to optimize their recovery.
I specialize in treating a variety of hand and wrist conditions, with a particular focus on fractures of the distal radius and carpus. My clinical research in these areas has led to advancements in treatment methods, enhancing both care and recovery for my patients. This specialized expertise allows me to address complex cases with precision and care.
Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in hand surgery, emphasizing the importance of proactive healthcare engagement. My approach is rooted in fostering strong partnerships with my patients, ensuring they receive personalized and responsive care. This commitment to excellence is supported by my affiliation with 做厙TV Langone, where coordinated and seamless care is a priority.
My journey into hand surgery began during medical school, where I was inspired by the profound impact a hand surgeon can have on a persons life. This realization fueled my passion for the field and continues to drive my dedication to improving patient outcomes through innovative and compassionate care.
