Robert H. Ablove, MD
Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery
Professor of Orthopaedics, University at Buffalo
Director, Upper Extremity Fellowship
Chief, Hand Surgery Service
As a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon, I care for multiple common hand conditions, including carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupuytren‘s disease, arthritis, trigger finger and tendonitis. I am most passionate about taking care of people and making their lives better. There is nothing more gratifying than a patient who experiences better function and less pain as a result of my care.
