Raymond Severt. M.D.

Our hands serve many purposes.  Hands help us eat, dress, write, earn a living, create art and do many other activities. To accomplish these tasks and activities, our hands require sensation and movement, such as joint motion, tendon gliding and muscle contraction.

When a problem takes place in the hand, care must be given to all the different types of tissues that make function of the hand possible.  Dr. Severt is specifically trained to give that care:

• Hand surgery is the field of medicine that deals with problems of the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder.
• Hand surgeons care for these problems without surgery, and they are specially trained to operate when necessary.
• Dr. Raymond Severt is also an expert in diagnosing and caring for shoulder and elbow problems.
• Raymond Severt, M.D. is an orthopedic surgeon who has additional training in surgery of the hand.
• To become a member of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, a hand surgeon must complete a full year of additional training and must pass a rigorous certifying examination.
