Metairie Elbow Specialist

As a board-certified orthopedic elbow specialist, Brandon P. Donnelly, MD treats the full range of elbow conditions in patients of all ages at Pontchartrain Orthopedics and Sports Medicine’s Metairie, Louisiana office.

The American Society for Surgery of the Hand explains how hand, wrist, and elbow specialists have received additional training in the treatment of elbow injuries and conditions beyond their board-certified specialty training in orthopedic surgery or general surgery.

Patients living in Metairie can schedule appointments with Dr. Donnelly at his Doctor's Row clinic located at 3939 Houma Boulevard, Suite 21. Dr. Donnelly treats a wide range of patients, treating elbow conditions like general elbow stiffness, advanced elbow arthritis, tennis & golfer elbow, radial tunnel syndrome, undiagnosed elbow pain, and elbow injuries.

Some types of elbow pain are usually short-term, can be resolved with rest and ice therapy, and are not a cause for concern. However, elbow pain can indicate a more serious, underlying condition that may require treatment from a specialist. 

• Pain in your elbow that doesn't improve, even with rest and ice
• Pain when not bending your elbow or using your arm
• Swelling, pain, or redness in the elbow gets worse over time
• A reduced range of motion or obvious deformity in your elbow
• Painful symptoms following an injury or fall

Should you experience any of the symptoms above, you should contact Dr. Donnelly's office to schedule an evaluation.

In most cases, you will not need a referral to schedule an appointment with Dr. Donnelly. However, some insurance providers and managed health care programs require a referral from your primary care physician before seeing a Metairie elbow specialist. Should you have any doubt, contact your insurance company to fully understand  their referral guidelines.

If you or someone you know has  elbow pain, discomfort, or lack of mobility, contact Dr. Donnelly for an appointment. You can get answers from a local, Metairie elbow specialist who has the expertise to accurately diagnose and treat your elbow condition.
