Hand, Wrist, and Elbow Pain
Peter Jebson, MD
Thursday, May 30 – Noon
It’s easy to forget how much we rely on our hands, wrists, and elbows until we experience pain. When pain interferes with our lives at work, home, or play, it can be disabling and frustrating—and that’s when expert advice is needed. Join orthopaedic hand, wrist and upper extremity specialist Dr. Peter Jebson as he answers questions and offers the most effective treatment options.
Dr. Peter Jebson is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon with the Condit/Jebson practice in Grand Rapids. He specializes in conditions that affect the hand, wrist and elbow.
