Hand Surgery

Soccer Day with the Kids

Welcome!

Please browse through my website to learn more information about my surgical practice and my passion for my mission work with children in Guatemala.

 

I began my current practice at OAA in 1997 as the first fellowship-trained Orthopaedic Hand Surgeon in the Lehigh Valley. Since arriving, the practice has expanded to include Dr. Patrick McDaid in 1999, followed by Dr. Richard Battista in 2004 and most recently Dr. Lawrence Weiss in 2014.

 

My practice is limited to the problems of the hand, wrist, forearm and elbow, including trauma (such as lacerations, fractures, dislocations, and sprains), arthritis (most commonly of the thumb and wrist and the small joints of the fingers), tendon (trigger fingers, tennis elbow and De Quervains), nerve (Carpal and Cubital Tunnel), and rheumatoid reconstruction.

 

I am dedicated, along with my partners; to bring you the best specialized care of the hand and upper extremity. I am board certified and hold a Subspecialty Certificate in Surgery of the Hand (formerly CAQ).
