Dr. Talerico’s first priority as a physician is to listen to his patients, not just to diagnose their conditions but to address their concerns and understand any related issues. He finds that the simplest treatment is often the best. Dr. Talerico treats all conditions of the hand, elbow, and shoulder, including shoulder arthroscopy and replacement. He has extensive experience treating all types of upper extremity sports injuries, both operatively and non- operatively. Before completing his fellowship in hand and upper extremity surgery, he served in the Navy as a staff orthopaedic surgeon for four years.
