3000 Colby Street, Suite 304
Friday the 13th would be considered an inauspicious day to move, so we didn’t “officially” move to a new office until Saturday. That’s right! We have moved! We are now in suite 304 – down the hall from where we were. This is what the space looked like just 2 months ago. And here it […]
As a team building challenge, the whole staff went to Omescape in Richmond to test our problem-solving and teamwork skills. We were assigned to “The Penitentiary”, which has an escape rate of only 13%. Our team, of course, was certain we would be up to the challenge. Erin, Emma, and Whitney even came in full […]
Five years ago, a college freshman named Ian Burkhart dived into a wave at a beach off the Outer Banks in North Carolina and, in a freakish accident, broke his neck on the sandy floor, permanently losing the feeling in his hands and legs. On Wednesday, doctors reported that Mr. Burkhart, 24, had regained control […]
Recently, our receptionist/surgery scheduler, Spencer, tied the knot, and I was honored to have been there to witness the event, and share in their celebration. The ceremony was beautiful, and I tried really hard to understand all that was being said in Spanish. I think I got the gist of it! We are all so […]

Everyone in the office seemed to be getting a little antsy, so we decided it was time. Time to hit the track. Time to let off some steam and burn some adrenaline. Now, I have never been a very aggressive driver, though I am not averse to speed. But I found myself to be not […]
Use caution during the Halloween season, and take steps to prevent hand injuries when carving. “Every Halloween season we see four or five patients – both adults and children – who come into our office with severe injuries to their hands and fingers,” says Jeffrey Wint, MD, an ASSH member from The Hand Center of […]
Took the staff to the Coliseum last Friday night to watch the Giants and A’s. We were pretty evenly split between SF and Oakland. The Giants fans were a little more animated, as you can see. But in the end, the A’s took it 5-4. It was great to see everyone outside the office, and […]
Interpreted from its literal translation, “ambidextrous” means having two right hands. It is a word that should be used to describe someone who uses both hands equally well. But more commonly, it is used to describe someone who does some things with one hand, and some with the other. For example, I could be considered […]
Our medical assistant extraordinaire, Jess Warner, has left the practice and is off to start her next chapter in life – PA school. Jess has been invaluable in our office, and has contributed in so many ways to making our practice the well-oiled machine that it is. We will miss you, Jess, and wish you […]
