A member asked:
Could you explain what is a hand physician called?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Specializing: Do you mean what type of dr is a hand specialist? Often they are orthopaedic surgeons that had extra training in hand surgery. Many sports medicine specialists, including physiatrists (specializing in sports medicine or musculoskeletal medicine), can examine and diagnose hand problems.
