When hand, wrist, elbow, or shoulder pain interferes with your work, hobbies, or time outdoors near Austin, you need focused orthopedic care you can trust. Upper Extremity ATX provides specialized treatment for conditions affecting the upper extremities so you can get back to the activities that matter most.
Led by fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon Dr. Travis Doering, we offer both surgical and non-surgical options tailored to your specific condition, goals, and lifestyle. Our team serves patients near Austin and throughout Central Texas with evidence-based, personalized care for upper extremity problems.

Upper Extremity ATX is dedicated exclusively to orthopedic issues of the upper extremities. That means you see a provider whose practice is centered on the types of problems you are dealing with, from everyday strain to more complex injuries. While many shoulder problems are related to the joint and soft tissues rather than nerve issues, nerve-related symptoms are more commonly associated with the wrists and hands, and we evaluate those carefully as well.
We work with you to understand your symptoms, daily demands, and activity level, then recommend a treatment plan that fits your needs. Whenever possible, we start with non-surgical options and only discuss surgery if it is appropriate for your condition and goals.
You can expect care that is:
Focused on the upper extremities, including hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder conditions
Grounded in current orthopedic research and evidence-based treatment options
Personalized to your lifestyle, work requirements, and activity level
Designed to relieve pain and improve function whenever possible
Delivered by a team that explains your options clearly and respects your decisions
When you visit Upper Extremity ATX near Austin, your appointment starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and how your problem affects daily life. Dr. Doering performs a focused physical examination of the affected area and may recommend imaging or additional testing when appropriate.
From there, we walk you through a clear plan. This may include activity modification, bracing, therapy, medications, injections, or, when needed, surgical treatment. Our goal is to help you understand what is happening in your upper extremity, what your options are, and what the next steps look like so you can make informed decisions about your care.
Living near Austin often means staying active, whether you spend your time on the job, on the water, on area trails, or enjoying sports and recreation. Upper extremity pain can disrupt all of that. We factor your specific activities and goals into your treatment planning, whether you want to return to recreational sports, care for family, or simply get through your day with less discomfort.
We recognize that each patient’s needs are different. Some people want to avoid surgery if possible, while others are looking for a more definitive solution after conservative care has not helped. We explain realistic options based on your condition rather than pushing a single approach.
