Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome treatment addresses median nerve compression causing hand numbness and pain. Our surgeons employ both conservative therapies and advanced endoscopic techniques for rapid symptom relief. Patients benefit from tailored rehabilitation plans to restore wrist function and prevent recurrence.
Wrist Arthroscopy
Wrist arthroscopy uses small incisions and specialized instruments to diagnose and repair ligament tears, fractures, and arthritis. This approach reduces recovery time while maintaining surgical precision. Our team specializes in complex wrist reconstructions with minimal scarring and optimal outcomes.
Thumb Ligament Repair
Thumb ligament injuries are treated with surgical reconstruction to restore joint stability. We utilize advanced techniques for skiers thumb and basal joint arthritis, enabling patients to regain grip strength and dexterity through targeted post-operative therapy.
Elbow Fracture Treatment
Elbow fracture treatment combines imaging diagnostics with surgical or non-surgical interventions to restore mobility. Our specialists manage complex fractures using internal fixation devices and customized immobilization strategies to ensure proper bone alignment and healing.
Trigger Finger Release
Trigger finger release alleviates tendon inflammation causing finger locking. We perform precise outpatient procedures to widen tendon sheaths, allowing smooth finger movement. Post-operative care includes exercises to prevent stiffness and promote full recovery.

I cannot recommend Dr. Anderson highly enough. He has such a pleasant demeanor, is caring, , competent and professional. His whole office-the check-in staff, the medical assistant Carolyn and OT Debbie are just the best!

Doc Anderson is one of the best doctors I've ever dealt with. On a scale of 1-10 he is an 11 in all aspects. He genuinely cares about his patients and it shows.

Horrible service. I brought my kid to see a doctor there and my kid got an arm cast from them. Before we leave we made an appointment to take a cast off however the cast was uncomfortable and we decided to have it removed before an appointment day. So we had the cast removed at another doctor office as Proliance doctor said we can have the cast removed at our primary doctor if it became painful or uncomfortable, so we did.
I called proliance to cancel an appointment and asked if we need to make an appointment for an X-ray, I was told that by the receptionist that their MA is going to talk to their doctor and would call me back. Well, they never called me back. After a few days I called them again and was told that the MA was out of the office and she will call me the next day. This is a week ago, still no call. Bad service!

Dr Guyette is hands (haha cause he's a hand surgeon ) down the best hand surgeon I have been fortunate enough to have found. He is so knowledgeable, kind, funny and professional. On top of that, he is always on time. I have had way too many surgeries with other excellent surgeons who have not been as good with their time management. But I have never felt rushed during a visit. He is attentive and thorough. He really is the best! I recommend him with 0 reservations or exceptions. Thank you Dr Guyette and also Danielle who is his great MA!

Proliance staff and Dr. Todd Guyette handled my wrist and hand problems very efficiently and professionally. I am now 5 months out from my surgery and treatment and can give an objective assessment. I am 71 year old, now retired, dentist with a lifetime of heavy handed use and abuse. I waited longer than I should have and gave them a difficult series of problems to deal with. Immediately following surgery and injections, I could sleep a full night without my hands falling asleep as well.
A good nights sleep was really welcomed. Sedation was quick & efficient and made for a very short procedure for me. The pain was minimal and needed only a single Tylenol as the anesthesia wore off. Healing was as predicted and following instructions made for a quick recovery. They are still 71 year old hands having to go with a 71 year old body but they have given me some more mileage and comfort.
The follow- up after surgery was excellent. Thank you for all the improvement I have received. In a time of covid and a pandemic Dr. Guyette and staff were able to get my medical needs met without any complications. Good luck and stay safe. John Sechena
