Get to know Hand Surgeon Dr. Anthony Finuoli, who serves patients in Commack, New York.

As a highly-trained and skilled hand surgeon, Dr. Finuoli specializes in caring for hand, wrist, and forearm problems without the option of surgery, unless necessary. He is a part of the team of experts at Branch Orthopaedics in Commack, New York.

Branch Orthopaedics focuses on compassionate communication and quality medical care to aid patients to a speedy recovery. The medical staff believes that treating the whole patient results in the best possible outcome. They accomplish this by using the latest treatment methods and surgical techniques.

Back in 1998, Dr. Finuoli earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree from the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine. He then went on to complete his internship in internal medicine at Nassau University Medical Center, followed by his residencies in orthopaedic surgery at Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center and Seton Hall University School of Health and Medical Sciences. He also completed his fellowship in hand surgery at Mount Sinai Beth Israel. 

With over two decades of experience in his field, the doctor is board-certified in orthopaedic surgery and surgery of the hand by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, which is an organization with the goal of establishing educational and professional standards for orthopaedic residents and surgeons as well as evaluating the qualifications and competence of orthopaedic surgeons.

Hand surgery is surgery of the hand, the wrist, and the peripheral nerves of the upper limb. It also encompasses reconstructive surgery that improves upper limb function. Many disorders and injuries of the hand are treated without surgery, using splints, taping, injections, and hand physiotherapy. Hand surgeons care for these problems with and without surgery. They are specially trained to operate when necessary. Many hand surgeons are also experts in diagnosing and caring for shoulder and elbow problems.
