I enjoy caring for patients; and I enjoy teaching premedical and medical students, resident physicians, colleagues, hand therapists, ergonomists, artists, musicians, craftspeople, inventors, designers, and the general public about hand and general health with an emphasis on best use of upper limbs and a focus on design for strain/injury prevention.I also perform a fair amount of minimally invasive (minimal "down time") hand and upper extremity surgery, including Sonex microinvasive ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release, endoscopically assisted mini-incision cubital tunnel release, mini-incision Dupuytren's surgery, tiny incision ultrasound-guided trigger digit release, etc.Recent recognition for Sonex microinvasive carpal tunnel release:https://mailchi.mp/424eadd5248f/congratulations-to-dr-markison?e=[UNIQID]Patients are given a great deal of individual attention and are never rushed in and out. It's a friendly office.As an artist/illustrator, I'm pleased give each patient a drawing explaining diagnosis and treatment options.Specialties: In additional to surgical and nonsurgical diagnosis and treatment of hand problems, I also create artwork and music daily - here's a recent video sampler:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU4n22B__fM&feature=youtu.beHere is gallery of my recent original artwork, craft, inventions, and nature photography - visit regularly for a little bit of inspiration:http://images.nikonians.org/galleries/showgallery.php/cat/500/ppuser/342235See my latest hand-turned finger-friendly stylus pens and other artwork below.Buzzfeed article kindly including my thoughts about repetitive strain injuries here:https://www.buzzfeed.com/stephaniemlee/whatsapp-doc?utm_term=.amp53dQ5v#.rxkO58mODRecent Drugs That Damage Tendons article here:https://bottomlineinc.com/health/medications/drugs-that-damage-tendonsICA ClarinetCast: Health and Wellness Committee Presents An Interview with Dr. Robert E.
