The more you rely on your hands, the more you should keep Robert K. Kwon, MD in mind at the first sign of trouble. Dr. Kwon, is a double board-certified hand surgeon at Southwest Hand and Microsurgery in Plano, Texas, specializing in hand trauma and reconstructive surgery.

Originally from New Jersey, Dr. Kwon graduated with honors in biology from Stanford University in California before returning home to finish his medical degree from Rutgers New Jersey Medical School in Newark.

When Dr. Kwon isn’t caring for his patients, he enjoys spending time with his wife and children at their West Plano home. He’s also an avid woodworker and furniture maker, though he tries to stick to hand tools.
