West LA Hand Center is a multifaceted facility that offers many modalities of treatment. Each client will be educated about their condition, possible causes, and the reasoning behind the plan for treatment. Many aspects of treatment can be carried out right here in our office. However, when it is necessary to refer out, we have an extensive network of professionals who pride themselves in customer care as much as we do.
Treatment
It is a common misconception that a Hand Surgeon would only see patients who may be in need of surgery. While Dr. Freedman is a highly skilled surgeon, the fact is that many of our patients will never see him in an operating room. At West LA Hand Center, we see patients with many lower extremity issues.

PinPointe Nail Fungus Laser Treatment
The patented PinPointe Laser is specially designed to penetrate the nail, skin and soft tissue, killing the fungus in the nail bed that causes onychomycosis which leads to unsightly nail appearance.
The procedure typically requires one to two treatments with little or no discomfort and is performed in our office with no anesthetic being necessary. The gentle laser light beam has no effect on healthy tissue and treats only the infected area of the fingers.
