We've built a facility on the first floor of our building for all of our outpatient surgeries. The Hand Center, a join partnership with OhioHealth, is designed to make surgeries as simple and stress-free as possible for our patients. MEET OUR PHYSICIANS Fellowship training and specialized experience bring a rare qualification that results in a meaningful difference in patient care. We perform fewer surgeries while still achieving the results you want. We help patients who've had unsuccessful surgeries or treatments elsewhere gain greater mobility and function in their upper extremities and knees. When necessary, we're experience with aggressive surgical techniques that help patients maintain everyday functions that are most important to them. In addition to patient care, we've helped train hundreds of local emergency medical technicians and paramedics to give you the best opportunity for recover in emergency situations. DR. PAUL A.

NAPPI Fingers/ Hand/ Wrist/ Arm HAND AND ARM THERAPY SPECIALISTS On-site in our building you will find Certified Hand Therapists (CHTs), Occupational Therapists (OTs) and Physical Therapists (PTs), who work alongside our physicians to help bridge the gap from the medical management of a patient's injury or condition to a successful recover, allowing the patient to function normally in their daily lives. Because we have one of the largest groups of CHTs in the state of Ohio, new patients and referrals can be seen within 24-48 hours.
