Specialty Orthopaedics
Specialty Orthopaedics is a physician-led orthopedic practice providing comprehensive musculoskeletal care across North Georgia, including Braselton, Dawsonville, Duluth, and Gainesville. The practice offers evaluation and treatment for a full spectrum of orthopedic conditions, ranging from sports injuries and joint pain to complex upper extremity disorders.
Care is provided by a team of board-certified orthopedic surgeons with complementary subspecialty expertise. This team-based approach allows patients to receive both broad orthopedic care and focused subspecialty treatment when needed.
Comprehensive Orthopedic Care With Subspecialty Expertise
Specialty Orthopaedics treats conditions involving the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, and ankle. Treatment plans are individualized and may include non-operative management, physical therapy, injections, or surgical intervention depending on the diagnosis and patient goals.
Common orthopedic conditions treated include joint pain and arthritis, sports-related injuries, fractures, tendon and ligament injuries, nerve compression syndromes, and work-related musculoskeletal conditions.
Hand, Wrist, and Elbow Specialty Care
Dr. Thomas Neustein is one of the orthopedic surgeons at Specialty Orthopaedics and provides fellowship-trained subspecialty care focused on conditions of the hand, wrist, elbow, and upper extremity. Patients are commonly referred for evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, De Quervain's tenosynovitis, thumb CMC arthritis, hand and wrist fractures, and complex upper extremity injuries.
This subspecialty focus allows for precise diagnosis, thoughtful non-operative care, and advanced surgical treatment when appropriate, while remaining fully integrated within the broader orthopedic practice.
Orthopedic Care Across North Georgia
Patients are evaluated in clinic locations in Braselton, Dawsonville and Duluth, with outpatient surgical procedures performed at a dedicated surgery center in Gainesville, GA.
