Discharge Instructions

Dr. Lincoski is a board-certified and fellowship-trained hand surgeon with over ten years of experience. His specialized training includes unique competencies in hand and upper extremity surgery. His expertise spans across a variety of conditions that ail the hand, wrist, elbow, and arm, such as nerve repair, wrist arthroscopy, wrist fractures, minimally invasive surgery of the hand, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendon injuries, and Dupuytren’s contracture. Proudly serving his country as an orthopedic surgeon in the United States Air Force, Dr. Lincoski has a unique skill set. He typically approaches orthopedic problems through nonsurgical methods like splints, casts, cortisone injections, or physical therapy.
