Hand & WRIST

Hand Surgeon Dr. Basil Besh performing hand surgery in Fremont Our 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 & bicep. Hand surgeons care for these problems with and without surgery. They are specially trained to operate when necessary. Because many hand surgeons devote their time to examining, treating and studying hand and upper extremity ailments, they are experts.

Dr. Besh is a board certified hand surgeon.

Why visit a hand surgeon?

If you have an eye problem, you see an eye doctor. If you have a heart problem, you see a cardiologist. If you have a hand problem, you see a hand surgeon. It's that simple. 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 brings over 11 years experience specializing in the surgical and nonsurgical treatment of hand, wrist, forearm, and elbow conditions for patients of all ages and activity levels.
