Live Chat with Dr. Haselkorn on WebMD.com
Repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome are easy to get, but difficult to get rid of. Are wrist pads and ergonomic keyboards enough to avoid hurting yourself? Is surgery the only option for severe cases? On April 24, 2003 at 12:00 p.m. ET, WebMD.com discussed prevention and treatment options with Alexander Haselkorn, MD. Click here for the transcript of the live chat.

Alexander Haselkorn, M.D. has been in private practice in Paterson, New Jersey for more than 31 years. Originally he was trained as a General Surgeon at Albert Einstein/Bronx Municipal Hospital and Beth Israel Hospital in New York City. He also had the opportunity to train with Alfred Swanson, a pioneer in hand surgery, who developed most of the techniques in reconstructive hand surgery. Dr. Haselkorn was a Swanson Hand Fellow at Blodget Memorial Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Dr. Haselkorn’s practice now is primarily devoted to the evaluation and treatment of hand and wrist problems. He has extensive experience treating hand injuries and deformities associated with arthritis, congenital anomalies, and nerve problems. At present, he is the chief of the Louis and Edith Haselkorn Hand Service at Barnert Hospital in Paterson, New Jersey, which has the best-equipped center in northern New Jersey for treating hand and wrist problems, including operating room microscope and x-ray machines solely for wrists and hands. He also practices out of St. Mary's Hospital in Passaic, and Chilton Hospital in Pompton Plains, NJ. Dr. Haselkorn is capable of performing complex reconstructive procedures, joint replacements, and microscopic nerve repairs.

He also treats a large number of job-related injuries, including Repetitive Strain Injuries such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, stenosing tenosynivitis (trigger fingers), and DeQuervain’s Disease (compression of tendons in the first dorsal compartment of the wrist).
