About Dr. Minhas
Hand & Wrist Orthopedic Surgeon
Dr. Minhas is a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic hand and upper extremity surgeon, with expertise in treating conditions from the elbow down to the fingertips in both children and adults. For Dr. Minhas, a key component of care is to take the time to help patients understand the nature of their condition and the “why” behind treatment options. This ensures that the treatment decided together fits a patient’s life, meets expectations, and allows for active participation in care. While injuries and conditions of the hand are quite common, every patient is different, each with a unique set of goals and challenges. Dr. Minhas’ main priority is to get patients back to the activities quickly and as safely as possible.
