Pioneers in upper extremity surgery

In the 1970s, one of the co-founders of HSA performed the first surgical reattachments of upper extremity amputations in Chicago. This pioneering achievement set the stage for our dedication to pushing the boundaries of medical knowledge and surgical techniques in upper extremity care. We continue to build upon this legacy of innovation, striving to provide our patients with the best possible outcomes through advanced surgical and non-surgical approaches.

The largest non-university single specialty hand group in the Midwest

With our main office still located in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, HSA has become the largest non-university single specialty hand group and one of the largest in the Midwest. Our extensive growth is a testament to the trust and confidence that patients and referring physicians have placed in us over the years. We proudly serve our community and provide comprehensive care for various upper extremity conditions.

Board-certified surgeons with sub-specialization training

All our surgeons are board-certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgeons. In addition to their board certification, each surgeon has undergone rigorous sub-specialization training in upper extremity and microvascular surgery.
