"My approach to hand and upper extremity surgery has a conservative slant. A lot of times we can generate complete relief of common conditions with splints, occupational therapy, or injections. Only after patients have demonstrated failure to improve with less invasive techniques do we discuss surgery."

"I always loved science, but I also wanted to be able to interact with people; medicine is the perfect combination of the two. Many careers in science are spent in a lab supplying little interaction with others. I really enjoy getting to know my patients, sharing laughs with them, and watching them improve. Orthopedics, in particular, offered the chance to make a real improvement in the lives of my patients. Pain and suffering are terrible things, and often in orthopedics we really get to be a part of alleviating these grievances for our patients. Hand and upper extremity surgery was fascinating to me because of the complex anatomy and the importance of our hands in everyday life.
My approach to hand and upper extremity surgery has a conservative slant. A lot of times we can generate complete relief of common conditions with splints, occupational therapy, or injections. Only after patients have demonstrated failure to improve with less invasive techniques do we discuss surgery. During my training in Boston, I learned many modern and less invasive surgical techniques. For many patients, these procedures can be done under local or regional anesthesia without the risk of general anesthesia. In some surgeries, blood thinners can even be continued. During my training at Boston Children’s Hospital, I learned the care of the pediatric upper extremity from some of the world’s foremost experts. I am very delighted to be able to bring this training to serve the needs of our youngest Phoenicians." - Dr. Stanbury

Appointment was on time and quick but every concern was addressed.
Awesome Doctor
Great experience with Dr. Stanbury!
First off, I don't like surgeons and i don't trust them. This one, Doctor Stanbury was an honest and up front about the whole process. There I said it. No one wants to go see a surgeon, but if you need one ... He is the one you want to see.
Such a great hand doctor!!
Today was an excellent visit. Appears most everyone is on the same page. We have a plan and a direction.
Dr Stanbury is the best Orthopedic hand/wrist and arm specialist. If anyone needs this type of orthopedic I send them to him because he is one on one and listens to your concerns and trys all possibilities before surgery.
Awesome Doc. Thank you 🙏
Professional, kind, speaks clearly with discussion of current options available and very honest regarding pain and drawbacks of each choice.
It was a pleasure meeting Dr. Spencer Stanbury.
