About Greg DeSilva and Banner Safety Practices

Care Philosophy

I work hard to make myself available for patients. I really enjoy talking to patients and getting to know them. Every visit is based on good conversation and good listening from the doctor. My goal is for each visit to be an enjoyable and friendly visit to get excellent hand care. I want every patient to realize how much I care about them and their concerns.

Specializing In

Comprehensive and patient-centered care of problems of the elbow, wrist and hand of patients of all ages.
My research has focused on management of bone loss in the upper extremity; soft tissue coverage of orthopedic wounds; distal radius (wrist) fractures; optimizing of the educational environment in orthopedic surgery.

Interests & Activities

I have been involved with a variety of youth sports in Tucson and have served as a certified youth coach with completion of the USSF youth module licensing exams.
Personally, I have been very active in Tucson and regional tennis Through these teams, I have been able to compete with excellent players from the Southwest and have even qualified for the 4.5/5.0 national tournaments, the highest level for men over 40.

All Banner facilities are pleased to provide interpretation services to our patients and their companions for no charge - just ask when you arrive.
