Where Are You Experiencing Pain?

Orthopedic Surgery 

We treat any and all conditions from the shoulder to the fingertip. This includes elective and reconstructive procedures, joint replacement, trauma surgery, arthroscopic surgery, microsurgery, and minimally invasive surgery.

Hand Surgery

We rely on our hands to perform tasks throughout the day, from brushing our teeth to doing our jobs. When hands don't function properly, it's important to accurately diagnose and treat the condition. Whether you are suffering from an injury, repetitive motion issues, or a degenerative condition, our highly skilled surgeons use the latest techniques to diagnose and treat your concern. Among the hand issues we treat are carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, ganglion cysts, and tendon and nerve injuries.

Elbow Surgery

Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow are the common names in sports medicine for painful conditions caused by overuse of the elbow. But as painters, mechanics, cooks, and others know firsthand, these ailments crop up whenever repetitive motions are part of the job. Whatever elbow condition you face, we offer a full range of specialized care, including non-surgical treatment, minimally invasive procedures, and surgical options, to get you back in form.

Shoulder Surgery

Your shoulder is the most mobile joint in your body. However, that range of movement also makes the shoulder more susceptible to injury, whether from repetitive athletic activities, daily chores, or accidents. Our surgeons have advanced training in the diagnosis and treatment of shoulder and upper arm conditions, including arthritis, rotator cuff tears, biceps tendinitis, and fractures.

Our team in Fort Worth, TX, can operate surgically to relieve the pressure on the nerves in the wrist. We perform both open and arthroscopic carpal tunnel surgeries.

Affordable Orthopedic Surgery How We Save You Money

At The Hand to Shoulder Center in Fort Worth, TX, we are conscious of the high cost of healthcare. We have taken several steps to make orthopedic care more financially accessible to our patients, including offering payment and financing options to patients without insurance or with high deductibles. Other steps we take to reduce the cost of treatment include:

CareCredit®

We accept financing through CareCredit for all of our orthopedic procedures. CareCredit is a third-party lender that works similarly to a credit card company, but specifically for medical treatment. Our office staff is happy to help you navigate this process.

Ambulatory Surgery Centers

To avoid exorbitant hospital costs, we perform advanced orthopedic surgery at ambulatory surgery centers. These modern centers are specifically designed to support outpatient surgical procedures and they allow us to provide the same level of care as a hospital at a fraction of the cost.

In-Office Orthopedics

For less advanced conditions like carpal tunnel or trigger finger, our orthopedic surgeons can operate in our Fort Worth, TX, office for even less than the cost of going to a facility. When you meet with one of our physicians for a consultation, they will discuss with you what location will be best suited for your needs.
