Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgery Approach
Reconstructive surgery aims to restore form and function when tissue has been affected by injury, cancer treatment, congenital conditions, or another medical problem. Hand surgery adds specialized knowledge of the bones, joints, tendons, nerves, blood vessels, and soft tissues that allow the hand and wrist to move and function normally.
Dr. Parikh’s practice covers several areas where these specialties overlap. A patient with a complicated hand injury, for example, may require treatment that addresses damaged tendons, nerves, soft tissue, and skin together. His work also includes reconstructive procedures for patients who need tissue restoration after breast cancer treatment or complex wounds.
