As a Nurse Practitioner, my role as member of the hand surgery team working with Dr. Lerner is to develop a partnership with our patients where we work together to address their surgical needs. This involves seeing patients in the office, diagnosing their conditions, explaining their diagnosis and providing non-surgical care while, at the same time, keeping their preferences and treatment goals in mind. I enjoy working with patients to decrease pain and increase their ability to perform activities they enjoy.
