You don't need to check into a hospital to get pain relief.

We regularly perform hand and arm outpatient surgeries in our safe, sterile, orthopedic treatment rooms. Some studies suggest that an outpatient setting may even be safer than a hospital operating room for these types of procedures.¹

Save money while you save your golf swing.

Hand surgery under local anesthesia only is becoming an increasingly popular choice. Having your procedure while wide awake in one of our practice treatment rooms rather than checking in to a hospital can also save you a lot of money.² Costs associated with open carpal tunnel release under sedation and wide awake in a hospital operating room is 11 times and 6 times as expensive, respectively, as performing the procedure wide awake in a treatment room.³
