Dr. Andy Puckett (P. Andrew Puckett, MD) is a board certified, fellowship trained orthopedic surgeon. He attended medical school and completed his internship and residency at Indiana University School of Medicine, and then went on to pursue a fellowship in hand and microvascular surgery from the University of Utah. He also has a Certificate of Added Qualification in Hand Surgery, and specializes in all conditions of the upper extremity (elbow, wrist and hand) including microvascular surgery.

As any artist knows—whether you’re woodworking, sewing, knitting or painting—fine motor skills in your hands and wrists are vital to your craft. And for anyone else who needs comfort and function in their arms and hands for sports, cooking, working, typing, and playing with the kids or grandkids—which is most of us—conditions affecting your upper extremities can be particularly debilitating as well. Dr. Puckett’s specialization brings top expertise to this important area of the body, working with you to find a solution for your condition.

Upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders (UEMDs) affect many, and they have a negative impact on quality of life, so specialized treatment is especially vital. The most common conditions treated are carpal tunnel, tendonitis, arthritis, DeQuervain’s, Dupuytren’s contracture, and fractures. Many of these disorders not only cause pain, but they can also lead to loss of muscle and mobility.

Dr. Puckett performs carpal tunnel and some other microvascular surgeries in the clinic setting, using sterile set up. This is a cost saving to his patients and minimizes surgical waste. When needed, he will utilize our ambulatory surgical center, on the same campus at 2360 Mullan Road in Missoula, Montana.

Dr. Puckett first came to Missoula as an independent physician at Missoula Orthopedic Associates, and in 1999 joined together with his colleagues to form Missoula Bone & Joint. He and his wife, raised their two boys in Missoula and fell in love with the great outdoors of Montana, especially skiing, mountain biking and hiking.

“I have always had a great experience at bone and joint. The doctors and staff are all really helpful, listen closely to my issues and provide exceptional care.”

“All the staff was awesome, from checking in, to the nurse, xray and Dr that saw me.

Super thanks to your staff that are amazing folks that seem to really care!”

“I have lived in Houston, TX and Seattle. I think the care I received at the Walk-in Clinic of your facility was the best I have ever experienced. I am 75 years old with lots of experience.”

“The staff were positive, courteous and very efficient. The PA was informative and descriptive about my injury, and about managing my expectations for recovery. Overall a very good experience that I shared with family and friends.”

“I have been there dozens of times, never had a Doctor or Assistant that has been less than professional in my care. The office staff are excellent and professional in their dealings with me and my needs. An A Number 1 operation. Thank you!”
