Hand & Wrist Service
Compassionate, expert orthopedic care for conditions affecting the hand and wrist.
Our Approach
Our hands are an instrumental tool that we depend on for everyday life skills. If an injury or pain gets in the way of using our hands, then simple tasks such as getting dressed, feeding ourselves, and even communicating can be difficult.
At Stamford Health, our highly specialized practitioners have the training and experience to minimize pain and treat your condition so that you can return to your normal activities as soon as possible. Your physician will work together with you to determine the best treatment plan for your lifestyle, which may include physical and occupational therapy, and surgery.
