Hand Specialists
Along with dedicated, compassionate occupational and physical therapists, our team of hand specialists provides everything patients need for their treatment and recovery in one convenient location. Dr. Emerson cares for patients with painful hand injuries and conditions and also treats those with injuries and diseases of the elbow and shoulder.
Arthroscopic and Reconstructive Surgery
Dr. Emerson is committed to helping his patients return to an active, pain-free lifestyle by using advanced surgical techniques and technology such as arthroscopic and reconstructive surgery. Both are effective treatments for repairing or replacing a damaged joint and restoring function for patients impacted by severe forms of arthritis, joint deformity, mobility issues, injuries, and other diseases and conditions of the hand, elbow and shoulder.
The Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute Approach
Dr. Emerson believes the decision to proceed with surgery should come only after trying nonsurgical options, including physical therapy, prescription medication management and injections. If nonsurgical options do not alleviate pain, Dr. Emerson will review and advise on next steps, possibly surgery.
