About Us

---

Hand Surgery is a specialised area of surgery which has skill sets derived from Orthopaedic, Plastic and General Surgery. Hand Surgeons originate from each of these three surgical specialities; and in some countries Hand Surgery is a separate surgical entity in its own right.

Both during and following Orthopaedic training, Dr Graham, Dr Loch-Wilkinson and Dr Williams have all made extensive efforts to work with Plastic, Orthopaedic and General Surgery trained hand surgeons; both in Australia and abroad.

Dr Graham, Dr Loch-Wilkinson and Dr Williams  are all fellowship trained hand surgeons. Dr Graham has also be awarded the qualification of PFET(Hand Surgery) by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in 2017.

Paediatric Hand Surgery

The field of paediatric hand surgery includes both traumatic and congenital surgery. This is an extremely varied area. Just some of the conditions treated include syndactlyly, brachial plexus, limb deficiency syndromes, as well as other syndromes affecting the hand and wrist.

Hand Therapy provides rehabilitation for any hand or wrist condition. It involves evaluation and testing to assess the injured limb from which a specific treatment program can be designed. A variety of specialised treatment techniques are used to achieve these goals.

-  Australian Hand Therapy Association

All hand therapists at The Palms Hand Therapy are associated with The Australian Hand Therapy Association. 

The Palms Hand Therapy was started in 2017 by Marin Suzuki (Dr Graham's wife) with the intention of providing excellent continuity of care for all hand patients.

The Palms Hand Therapy sees patients directly without referral, and also takes referrals from General Practitioners, Emergency doctors and other allied health.

Research is crucial for the development and growth of hand surgery and hand therapy, and to ensure that the best available treatment is accessible to you. All practitioners at Mudgeeraba Hand Clinic are up to date with current research and are actively involved in research and we believe that this is our duty for all our patients now and in the future. We have established the Australian Research Collaboration on Hands (ARCH) research group to further hand surgery research and to ultimately improve patient outcomes.
