About our Practice
Dr. Robert Kratschmer, a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in hand surgery, nerve compression conditions, and traumatic injuries of the hand, provides care.
Patients often seek evaluation for symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain in the hands and wrists. Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or other forms of nerve compression can cause these symptoms.
Dr. Kratschmer evaluates each patient individually to determine the cause of symptoms and the most appropriate treatment plan. Treatment may range from conservative management to surgical intervention when necessary.
Patients from Friendswood, Webster, League City, Clear Lake, Pearland, and the greater Houston area come for evaluation and treatment of hand conditions that affect daily function and quality of life.
If you are experiencing symptoms in your hands or wrists, early evaluation can help prevent progression and improve outcomes.

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be described as a tingling, numbness or weakness that you may feel in your hand caused by nerve pressure in your wrist.
