Hand Clinic

Bobby Gosh's Story (Flash 04:23)

"I had a blood blister appear out of nowhere on the tip of my finger. Even after having surgery, it reappeared. I couldn't get near the keyboard for about seven months – that just doesn't fly in my business. I needed to do something so I headed to Dartmouth. Dr. Warhold did an MRI and quickly determined it was a tumor. He removed it with no problems and I was on my way back home the same day. Thanks to his work, I have full use of my finger with no pain...he gave me my career back."
