Dr. Strauch is
a Professor of Clinical Orthopedic Surgery at Columbia University.
He has completed nearly all of his post high-school training at
Columbia University, including college, medical school and orthopedic
surgery residency. His fellowship in the specialty of hand surgery
was performed at the Indiana Hand Center followed by additional
training in microsurgery in Taiwan. He joined the full-time faculty
at Columbia in 1992 and since then has been engaged in the practice
of hand, wrist and elbow surgery. Hand surgery is an exciting field
which involves the diagnosis and treatment of hand and upper extremity
problems through both non-surgical and surgical methods in both
adults and children. The specialty of Hand Surgery melds together
elements and principles of orthopedic, plastic, neurological and
vascular surgery to restore and maximize hand and upper extremity
function, whether it be wielding a jackhammer, throwing a baseball,
or playing the violin.
Dr.
Strauch has a special interest in nerve problems of the upper extremity
(including carpal tunnel syndrome) and in treating congenital hand
disorders. He has authored and co-authored many articles in the
field of Hand Surgery and is actively engaged in basic and clinical
research. He was the President of the New York Society for Surgery
of the Hand in 2006-7 and has been recognized as one of New York
Magazine's ‘Best' Hand Surgeons each year from 2001 through 2007,
in addition to being regularly listed in America 's Top Doctors.
He is also an accomplished amateur magician and has been known to
entertain as well as to diagnose and treat his patients. Children,
especially, actually look forward to a return office visit with
the ‘magician'.
