About Dr. Vahey
Dr. Vahey

Bio


After completing medical school with honors at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, and receiving extensive training in general and orthopaedic surgery, I began a fellowship in microsurgery and hand/upper extremity surgery at the Indiana Hand Center. I then relocated to Las Vegas, where I am a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon and a founder of the Hand Center of Nevada. I, alongside my team of highly experienced doctors and staff, help patients suffering from a wide variety of injuries and ailments affecting the hand, wrist,elbow, and shoulder including carpal tunnel syndrome, fractures, tennis elbow, shoulder dislocation, ganglion cysts, and much more. A proud member of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, I have also been awarded  a Certificate of Added Qualification. I consider myself an author, lecturer, and teacher, and I have dedicated my career to providing outstanding, personalized patient care.
