Dr. Daniel Laino specializes in hand, wrist, and elbow surgery. He was drawn to hand surgery because of the intricacy of hand anatomy and the variety of conditions he could treat to help relieve pain and restore patients’ abilities to return to their daily lives.
A Cleveland Ohio native, Dr. Laino was originally drawn to orthopedics as an opportunity to improve patients’ quality of life. He chose hand surgery in particular because of the intricacy of hand anatomy and the variety of conditions he could treat, including broken bones, torn ligaments and tendons, nerve injuries, sports injuries, and arthritis. For him, the most rewarding part of being a hand surgeon is helping to relieve pain and restore hand function so patients can get back to their lives.
