Dr. Paz Lior

Head of the Hand Surgery Department, Meir

Dr. Paz’s therapeutic approach is to treat the problems in a conservative manner and to avoid surgery as much as possible. Attention during treatment is directed to the patient, not only the condition. In every decision it is important to take into account the medical background, profession and of course the age and the functional requirements. Surgery will only be offered when it clearly benefits the patient over non-surgical treatment.
