Mr Horwitz like to find out about the human being and person behind the problem first and then make sure that as a team (patient and doctor) they achieve our mutual goals of getting the patient’s hand and wrist better, to do what they need it to do.
He works in a team with some of the best rehabilitation specialists and consultant colleagues to achieve this, ideally without surgery as the first option.
Mr. Horwitz is part of the Hand Doctor Practice; a team of three Hand Surgeons, who work together privately to collaborate and ensure seamless care (even if one of the doctors is away or not available).
