Our Story
The physicians of the Institute for Advanced Reconstruction have over 50 years of combined experience in the field of nerve reconstruction. Utilizing the latest cutting-edge techniques, they are able to restore function that has been lost due to nerve damage and disease. In procedures ranging from hand nerve surgery to relieve disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome, to advanced, highly effective methods of neuropathy treatment, our physicians are among the country’s most respected.
At the Institute for Advanced Reconstruction, we take a team approach to nerve reconstruction and plastic reconstructive surgery.
