Recovery & Post Surgical Support
Your recovery journey.
Your surgery was a success. What happens now?
A successful surgical outcome depends on a strong partnership between surgeon and patient. The work done in the operating room is the first critical step, but your commitment to the post-operative process is what truly brings your recovery across the finish line. We are dedicated to guiding and supporting you through every step of this journey to ensure you achieve the best possible result.
The work we do together.
The day of your surgery is a major milestone, but it marks the beginning—not the end—of your path back to full function.
The recovery and rehabilitation phase is a crucial period where you, guided by our team and your hand therapist, actively work to regain motion, build strength, and reclaim your capabilities. We are here to provide the expert support you need along the way.
Commited to your recovery.
Collaborative
We see recovery as a collaborative journey. Dr. French provides the surgical expertise to fix the underlying problem, and you provide the commitment to the rehabilitation process. Together, we work towards your goals.
Customized
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. Your rehabilitation plan is carefully tailored to your specific surgery, your unique anatomy, your lifestyle, and your personal goals for getting "back to life."
Comprehensive
Our care doesn't end when you leave the operating room. We are here to support you through the entire healing process, from managing your post-operative needs to addressing any questions or concerns that may arise.

Your dedication to your personalized hand therapy regimen—the stretches, the exercises, and the activity modifications—is what will ultimately determine your final level of function. We are here to empower you with the knowledge and support you need to succeed.
Don't let hand or wrist dysfunction dictate your life any longer.
