Hand Surgery

Dr. BeshOur hands serve many purposes. Hands help us eat, dress, write, earn a living, create art, and do many other activities. To do these activities, our hands require sensation and movement, such as joint motion, tendon gliding, and muscle contraction. When a problem takes place in the hand, care must be given to all the different types of tissues that make function of the hand possible.

Hand surgery is the field of medicine that deals with problems of the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow and sometimes shoulder. Hand surgeons care for these problems with and without surgery. They are specially trained to operate when necessary. Because many hand surgeons devote most of their time to examining, treating and studying the hand, they are specialists in hand care.

If you have pain in your fingers, hand, wrist or arm, or have other upper-extremity related concerns, you may want to consult a hand surgeon.

Dr. Besh is a board certified hand surgeon. Learn more about Dr. Besh.

Why visit a hand surgeon?

If you have pain in your fingers, hand, wrist or elbow, or have other upper extremity related concerns, you may want to consult a hand surgeon.

Dr. Besh specializes in the surgical and nonsurgical treatment of hand, wrist, forearm, and elbow conditions for patients of all ages and activity levels.

What can I expect from a hand surgeon?

Not every visit to a hand surgeon results in hand surgery. Hand surgeons often recommend non-surgical treatment options to assist you. Sometimes they may refer you to a hand therapist for more treatment.
