“I have completed a long track of education so that I can be comfortable with the diagnosis and treatment of upper extremity problems. At this point, my primary goal in treatment discussion is to integrate each person’s pathology with who the patient is and how this difficulty has affected his or her life. There are numerous ways to approach most medical diagnoses and I feel that presenting the problem, explaining the treatment options, and developing a patient specific plan will bring about the best possible doctor-patient relationship and outcome.”

Dr. Saillant went to Boston College where he graduated Cum Lade. Following this he attended Tufts University School of Medicine where he earned his medical degree and was elected into the Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) medical honor society. He subsequently stayed in Boston to complete his internship in general surgery and his residency in Orthopaedic surgery at Tufts Medical Center. Having developed a strong interest in hand surgery during his residency, Dr. Saillant went on to pursue specialized training. He moved to Philadelphia to complete this training through The Philadelphia Hand Center/Thomas Jefferson University Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery Fellowship program. As part of this fellowship training, Dr. Saillant also gained pediatric hand surgery experience at Shriners Hospital for Children.
