The Benefits of Seeing a Hand Specialist: Expert Care from Dr. Brad Gillman and Dr. J Taylor Lackey
Oct 13, 2025
Our hands are essential for nearly every activity we do—from typing and cooking to playing sports. When hand pain or injury strikes, it can severely impact daily life. That’s why seeing a hand specialist is often the best step toward effective treatment and recovery.
At our practice, Dr. Brad Gillman and Dr. J Taylor Lackey bring specialized expertise in diagnosing and treating a wide range of hand and upper extremity conditions. Here’s why consulting a hand specialist can make all the difference.
Unlike general practitioners, hand specialists like Dr. Gillman and Dr. Lackey focus exclusively on the anatomy and function of the hand, wrist, and forearm. This allows them to identify subtle issues that might be missed otherwise.
Whether dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, arthritis, fractures, or nerve injuries, these experts provide precise diagnosis and tailored treatment plans.
Hand specialists use advanced diagnostic tools such as ultrasound, electromyography (EMG), and specialized imaging to accurately identify problems, targeting the root cause rather than just symptoms.
Dr. Gillman and Dr. Lackey craft personalized treatment plans, ranging from conservative therapies like splinting and physical therapy to minimally invasive procedures or surgery when needed. They consider your lifestyle and activity level to ensure optimal healing.
When surgery is necessary, these specialists use minimally invasive techniques, often resulting in smaller incisions, less pain, and quicker recovery.
Specialized care leads to faster healing, less pain, and better hand function, improving your quality of life. Dr. Gillman and Dr. Lackey are committed to restoring your hand’s health and function.
Recovery includes guided rehabilitation. Both doctors work with therapists to design rehab programs that improve strength, flexibility, and dexterity.
