Treating Local Residents and Visitors of Jackson, WY, and the Western Wyoming Area
If you have sustained an injury or are experiencing unexplained pain or numbness in your fingers, hand, wrist, or arm, you can consult with a qualified hand and upper extremity doctor at Teton Orthopaedics in Jackson Hole. Rafael Williams, M.D. and Heidi Jost, M.D. are board-certified and fellowship-trained in treating conditions of the hand and upper extremity. In addition, Dr. Jost and Dr. Williams have each earned a Sub-Specialty Certificate in Surgery of the Hand (SOTH) from the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery. To earn this certification, a surgeon must demonstrate qualifications in hand surgery that go beyond those required of general orthopaedic surgeons.
Of course, not every visit with a hand and wrist surgeon will result in surgery. At Teton Orthopaedics, our surgeons emphasize conservative treatment whenever possible, and can often recommend non-surgical treatments, such as medication, splinting, bracing, or physical therapy to alleviate pain and restore function.
No referrals are necessary to consult with a hand, wrist, and upper extremity specialist at Teton Orthopaedics, the largest and longest established orthopaedic practice in Jackson, WY, and across Western Wyoming. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn more about the innovative treatments we offer.
