Learn more →Why a Fellowship-Trained Hand Surgeon?
A hand surgeon is an orthopaedic surgeon who has completed an additional year of fellowship training focused exclusively on the hand, wrist, and elbow — after a five-year orthopaedic surgery residency.
The hand contains 27 bones, 29 joints, 3 major peripheral nerves, and 2 arterial arches in a volume smaller than a paperback book. Subspecialty depth matters. Dr. Chambers operates on nothing but the hand and upper extremity — every case, every day.
- Dual board-certified in Orthopaedic Surgery and Hand Surgery
- Fellowship-trained at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Centre
- Residency at the Campbell Clinic — one of the most prestigious orthopaedic programmes in the USA
- Member of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH)
