Hand/Upper Extremity

Our physicians are orthopedic surgeons who have pursued additional sub-specialty training at the fellowship level in order to provide the most up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of the whole upper extremity.

In combination with our trained therapists and medical staff, they provide the very best in both surgical and non-surgical evaluation and treatment and have become a center of excellence for the Lexington and wider Kentucky areas in the treatment of upper extremity problems.
