At Steadman Hawkins Clinic of the Carolinas, we are able to diagnose and treat this wide array of hand and upper extremity conditions for both pediatric and adult patients. We currently have two fellowship trained hand and upper extremity surgeons, Dr. Timothy Allen and Dr. Nick Pappas, both of whom are located at our Cross Creek office. Drs. Allen and Pappas work closely with our Certified Hand Therapists at Proaxis Occupational Therapy to provide patients with non-surgical treatment options as well as post-operative care for the various hand and upper extremity conditions they treat.
