Hand & Upper Extremity Clinic of Eastern NY:

an Outpatient Private Practice specializing in the treatment of Upper Extremity Dysfunction.

Located in our Albany clinic.

 

“As Director of the Hand and Upper Extremity Clinic for the past 21 years, I am so proud of the program that we have developed as well as the staff that service our patients. One thing that makes our Center special and unique is the relationships we have developed with the surgeons and the collaborative approach to treatment. If there is an issue or problem that we find at any point along the way, we have direct communication with the physicians. As part of our philosophy, problems are addressed immediately, and if someone is not progressing as is expected, we change things up and try a new approach.”
