Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. It can be divided into two main categories – reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. A Plastic surgeon’s primary responsibility is performing surgical and non-surgical procedures, and they use a variety of reparative and reconstructive techniques to get the job done. Dr. Campbell enjoys complex reconstructive cases. 

Hand surgery deals with both surgical and non-surgical treatment of conditions and problems that may take place in the hand or upper extremity (commonly from the tip of the hand to the shoulder), including injury and infection. Hand surgeons are orthopaedic, plastic, or general surgeons who have additional training in surgery of the hand. They care for these problems with and without surgery. They are specially trained to operate when necessary.
