Learn more →Why See a Fellowship-Trained Hand Surgeon in Wake Forest?
A hand surgeon is an orthopaedic surgeon who has completed an additional year of subspecialty fellowship training focused exclusively on the hand, wrist, and elbow — after five years of orthopaedic surgery residency. Wake Forest and the northern Triangle have seen rapid population growth, bringing an increasing need for specialist hand surgery care close to home rather than driving into Raleigh or Durham.
Dr. Chambers operates on nothing but the hand and upper extremity, every case, every day. That depth of subspecialty experience directly affects diagnosis accuracy, treatment outcomes, and surgical results.
