Specialty Surgery.
It all started when…
A fellowship-trained hand and nerve surgeon took on the care of a young boy with a traumatic finger amputation. During the care of this young boy, the surgeon experienced significant and eye-opening delays before and during surgical reconstruction of the finger.
Due to this experience, the surgeon believed there must be a better environment in which specialty nurses, anesthesiologists, surgeons, and staff can efficiently support the surgical care of neuromusculoskeletal conditions.
From this dream came the DCHUX facility, located in heart of Dupont Circle in NW Washington, DC. In order to create the most efficient environment for care, this facility has been designed to provide an exceptional patient experience by ensuring that all team members are trained specifically with a thorough understanding of neuromusculoskeletal conditions and treatment plans.
DCHUX is located in the heart of Dupont circle in Northwest section of Washington DC.
