Longmeadow-based The Hand Center of Western Massachusetts will close June 1, according to a notice posted on the practice’s website.
The closure is attributed to “sudden unexpected staffing issues” that have disrupted operations.
“The matter has reached a critical point whereby staffing concerns have prevented us from being able to resume our regular activities as a hand surgery practice despite our fervent desire and significant efforts to do so,” the notice said.
The practice is operated by orthopedic surgeons Bruce Wintman, MD, and Jeffrey Wint, MD, who specialize in hand and upper extremity care.
According to the website, it was the only practice in Western Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut exclusively dedicated to treating conditions of the hand and upper extremity.
