A history of excellence: HSA

Hand to Shoulder Associates has a rich history spanning several decades, solidifying our reputation as a leading specialized upper extremity care provider. The journey began in the early 1970s as a single-physician hand surgery practice located in the growing industrial area of Elk Grove Village, Illinois. With a strong commitment to excellence and a vision for providing comprehensive upper extremity care, our practice steadily expanded its scope and expertise.

During the 1970s, one of the co-founders of HSA performed the first surgical reattachments of upper extremity amputations in Chicago, showcasing our commitment to pushing the boundaries of surgical techniques and advancements. This pioneering spirit has remained an integral part of our practice, driving us to continuously explore innovative solutions to improve patient outcomes.

With our main office still located in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, we have become the largest non-university single specialty hand group and one of the largest in the Midwest. Our commitment to delivering exceptional care and achieving outstanding outcomes has earned us the trust and respect of patients, referring physicians, and the medical community.
