Upper Arm and Extremity Orthopedics in Utah

Fellowship Trained Orthopedic Surgeon
Hand, Wrist, and Arm Physician in Ogden, UT

The hand, wrist, arm, and elbow are all very complex parts of the human body – the hand alone consists of 27 bones. Our upper extremities are also vital to everyday living; we probably don’t think twice about their health while putting on our clothes, reaching to the top shelf, taking out the trash, typing on a keyboard, or carrying a child. But when something’s not right, hand and upper extremity problems can take a toll on your quality of life. It’s very common to sustain an injury to these parts or develop chronic pain over time, which is why Ogden Clinic is proud to have a hand, wrist, and arm doctor devoted entirely to the orthopedic surgery and treatments on the upper extremities.
