The Hand Center at Temple Health is led by three advanced fellowship-trained hand surgeons. We work closely across departments – bringing together surgeons, orthopedic and sports medicine providers, physical therapists and rehabilitation specialists – to develop a plan that addresses your condition, reduces pain and restores function to your hand, fingers and thumb.
