Tara Ghatge Nagaraja, MD

“Our hands are vital to exploring the world and are therefore commonly injured and susceptible to overuse conditions and arthritis. Reducing pain and regaining function so people can return to work, as well as hobbies they love, motivated me to subspecialize in hand and upper extremity surgery. I enjoy helping patients maintain and improve their quality of life.” 

Dr. Tara Nagaraja is board certified in orthopedic surgery and has a subspecialty certification in hand surgery. She has clinical interests in treating conditions and injuries of the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand. She treats both children and adults. 

Dr. Nagaraja received her undergraduate degree at Virginia Commonwealth University and her medical degree at the University of Virginia. She completed her residency at the University of Cincinnati and a hand and upper extremity fellowship at Wake Forest University. 

Away from work, Dr. Nagaraja enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter. Together, they enjoy cooking, baking, attending sporting events, musicals and concerts.
