A Little Hand. A Big Comeback. 💙

When an unexpected injury turned into a scary experience for one young patient and his family, the right care made all the difference. From the first visit just days after the injury through surgery, therapy, and recovery, his care team provided encouragement, reassurance, and expert treatment every step of the way.

Today, he’s back to being an active 9-year-old—strong and confident.

We’re honored to be part of comeback stories like this. Read more about Laquita’s son’s comeback story here: www.handcenterga.com/my-comeback-story-laquita-b

When ongoing wrist pain held him back from everyday activities—like opening a doorknob—Leland N. wasn’t ready to give up.

After multiple procedures elsewhere didn’t solve the problem, he found a creative solution with Dr. Allan Peljovich. Thanks to expert diagnosis and care, Leland regained function and returned to the activities he loves with less pain and more confidence.

Stories like Leland’s remind us why specialized care and persistence matter on the path to healing. 💪

Positive Patient Experience 🌟 | “I wanted to share my thoughts as I was driving home yesterday evening after spending a lovely Easter Day with my family. I had just spent the day cooking, cleaning up dishes, making Easter crafts, and even playing basketball with my 12-year-old grandtwins without once thinking about my right hand! The only discomfort I ever noticed was in the opposite thumb (catching the basketball), which still needs the surgery. It was a great day! When I got home and sat down to relax, I became very aware of the gift I had received from everyone at The Hand & Upper Extremity Center of Georgia. It was a tough few months, but the outcome was well worth it! Please share this with Dr. Lourie, the ortho techs, X-ray techs, and the OTs. I want them all to know just how much I appreciate everything that was done to help me get through this. The Hand & Upper Extremity Center of Georgia is a well-oiled machine from the moment you make your first phone call for a consultation to scheduling in the rehab department. Everybody does a top-notch job, and I appreciate every single person I came in contact with. I'll be signing up for the other hand probably towards the end of summer. Thank you all again. With much gratitude.” –Linda G.
