Austin Hand Group provides in-house hand therapy for our patients as well as outside provider referrals. In-house hand therapy allows for close collaboration between the therapist and Dr. Lown to monitor the patient's progress and to optimize patient return to daily living, work and previous level of activities. We welcome outside referrals from other providers that are seeking the expertise of our Occupational Therapist. 

Austin Hand Group staff can assist with scheduling, benefits and eligibility, and estimates of costs related to your therapy visits.
