Michael Horowitz, MD

Hand injuries demand precision. General orthopedists cover the whole body, but specialists zero in on the intricate network of bones, tendons, and nerves that keep fingers and wrists moving. Michael Horowitz, MD focuses exclusively on that complexity, offering surgical and non-surgical treatments for conditions that disrupt daily tasks—from typing to turning a doorknob. The practice operates at 158-16 79th Ave, Fresh Meadows, a neighborhood where quiet side streets meet the steady hum of Northern Boulevard.

Carpal tunnel syndrome, fractures, and tendon repairs fall under the scope of hand surgery, a field that blends technical skill with an understanding of how small structures affect overall function. Residents of Queens know the frustration of a jammed finger or a wrist that won’t cooperate after years of use. These issues often require more than rest or over-the-counter remedies. A specialist can assess whether splinting, therapy, or surgery offers the best path forward, and they handle everything from trigger finger releases to nerve decompressions.

Fresh Meadows sits between Flushing and Jamaica, a pocket of the borough where medical offices share blocks with delis and dry cleaners. Directions to the practice are straightforward—map your route here. To schedule an appointment or ask about a specific condition, call (201) 510-3777.
