How was your experience with Dr. Pess?

About Me

care philosophy

I try to treat all hand surgery conditions non-surgically.  If that fails, I use the most up to date minimally invasive techniques so my patients can recover quicker and return to work and activities.

I try to treat my patients the same way I treat my family members. Compassionate, caring and competent.

biography

I am a world expert in minimally invasive treatments for Dupuytren contracture including needle aponeurotomy (NA / PNF) and collagenase (Xiaflex / Xiapex). I am active in research and a board member of the Dupuytren Research Group.
