Hand Surgery

Many people do not realize that plastic surgeons are also hand surgeons. In fact, most hand surgeons in the United States are either plastic surgeons or orthopaedic surgeons. In addition to cosmetic surgery and general plastic and reconstructive surgery, Doctor Jeffrey Arons also is an expert in surgery of the hand and wrist. After completing his general surgery and plastic surgery training, he completed an extra year of hand surgery Fellowship training in orthopaedic hand surgery. He performs all aspects of hand surgery, including treatment of broken bones, traumatic injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, nerve surgery, and tendon surgery. He performs wrist arthroscopy, as well as endoscopic carpal tunnel release.
Doctor Marvin Arons is available for consultations.

Because hand therapy is mandatory to help ensure a good outcome from hand surgery, Doctor Arons offers the services of a certified occupational hand therapist directly on site in their office. Other locations are available as well. Some patients are able to avoid surgery with the help of occupational therapy. After surgery, almost every patient will visit the therapist at least once. Many hand problems may be considered under workers’ compensation, however, a specific written authorization from your workers’ compensation insurance carrier is necessary before you can be scheduled for an appointment.
