About Me
I am an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in providing both operative and nonoperative care options to help patients recover from upper extremity issues. I treat acute and chronic hand and wrist injuries such as fractures and sprains, and I also regularly address conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome and tendonitis. In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I serve as vice chair of Clinical Operations for the Department of Orthopedic Surgery here at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
My patients can rely on me to carefully review all imaging, labs and nerve studies to ensure an accurate diagnosis. I then work collaboratively with each patient to implement a treatment that best aligns with their goals.
My role includes helping to train the next generation of physicians, orthopedic surgery residents, and hand and upper extremity surgeons. I also enjoy doing meaningful research about the upper extremity that helps hand surgeons more accurately diagnose and treat injuries, nerve compression and overuse injuries. I am a clinical associate professor at The Ohio State University College of Medicine as well as director of the Orthopedic Medical Student Clerkship.

Dr. Speeckaert is very competent, professional. She listened to my description of my ailment, then examined my hand.
