Erlanger Hayes Hand Center
A Helping Hand
After assisting on medical and dental mission trips in high school, Dr. Brandon Boyd knew that he wanted to be a physician. “The ability to help significantly improve someone’s quality of life has since been one of my greatest passions,” he shares. Now, Dr. Boyd offers compassionate care to patients at Erlanger Hayes Hand Center. “An injury to the hand, or painful condition, can significantly impact a patient’s occupation or quality of life,” says Dr. Boyd. “I love working with patients to help restore their hand function to improve their quality of life.”
I am very fortunate to be surrounded by an outstanding team of compassionate staff that go above and beyond to help care for each patient.”

Board Certified, American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery

1. What sets your practice apart?
I have an excellent team that focuses on surgical and nonsurgical management of hand, wrist, and elbow conditions and injuries. In addition, we have an expert team of occupational therapists in our office that we work closely with to help diagnose and treat complex injuries and conditions.
2 What do you love most about your profession?
I love the ability to work with patients of all ages to help get them back to doing the things they enjoy.
3. What does your daily routine look like?
My daily routine varies significantly through the week. I spend half of my time meeting with patients in office at our two locations in Chattanooga and Cleveland to evaluate new problems as well as surgical follow up visits. The other half of my week is spent performing surgeries at the hospital or outpatient surgery center.
4. What is your best advice for patients?
My best advice for patients is to try to distinguish the type and quality of issue that is affecting them and what specifically makes it worse and/or improves their symptoms. This information is helpful in establishing an accurate diagnosis and subsequently developing a treatment plan.
5. What is your philosophy when it comes to the care of your patients?
I believe one of the most important aspects of patient care is to take time to listen to the patient’s complaints in order to appropriately diagnose and treat their condition/injury. I also strive to treat each patient the way I would want someone to treat one of my own family members.
