Precise care for the hands you rely on every day.
Dr. Saeed Mohammad is an orthopedic surgeon with fellowship training in hand surgery. He treats conditions of the hand and wrist — from everyday problems like carpal tunnel and trigger finger to fractures and complex repairs that call for microsurgery.
Outside of work, he enjoys exploring the Finger Lakes with his family, live music and martial arts.
