He effectively performs procedures ranging from minimally invasive to complex traumatic reconstructions of the entire upper extremity, from the hand to the shoulder. Eight years of Dr. Eisenhuth's clinical experience took place in the Air Force, where he served on active duty as an orthopedic surgeon after completing his residency training.

Dr. Eisenhuth was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal and the Bronze Star Medal for his accomplishments.

Dr. Eisenhuth listened very well. Not just about the problem I am having with my hands but also about me — my preferences, fears, what I know and like to know, etc. He took the time to answer the many questions I usually have. He is kind, respectful, and extremely competent in his job. I cannot say enough good things about him.
