Specializing in Surgical and Non-Surgical Solutions
At the Hand & Upper Limb Surgery Clinic at Stanford, we care for patients in all age groups, ranging from newborns to the eldest seniors.
Treating the hand and upper limb means that we tend to the fingertips, the shoulder, and everything in between. The breadth of our care includes: trauma (fractures and sprains, tendon injury, nerve injury); chronic disorders (carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, tendinitis); arthritis (including inflammatory, age-related, and trauma-related); and congenital anomalies such as extra fingers or absence of fingers.
In many cases, disorders of the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, arm, and shoulder may be treated with non-surgical approaches, including rest, alternation of activity, splinting, and therapy. As hand surgeons, we work closely with hand, occupational, and physical therapists to provide the best comprehensive treatment to meet your needs. We also work closely with our colleagues in other specialties, such as Rheumatology, Plastic Surgery, and other Orthopaedic subspecialties, maximizing treatment of diseases and conditions that affect the body beyond the hand and upper limb.
Our team includes world-renowned medical providers and the highest quality of professional medical support staff. You will find state-of-the-art surgical facilities at Stanford Medicine Outpatient Center in Redwood City and the Ambulatory Surgery Center at Stanford's Advanced Medicine Center in Palo Alto.
