The Bay Area's only Thread hand surgeon · San Leandro
Carpal tunnel & trigger finger release, no incision.
Dr. Jesse Dashe, a board-certified orthopaedic hand surgeon in San Leandro, is the only surgeon in the San Francisco Bay Area offering Thread Release. Ultrasound guides a thread around the tight band that is trapping your nerve or tendon and divides it through two needle points: no incision, no stitches, in the office under local anesthetic. Urgent slots are held every day, so you can still be seen tomorrow.
Carpal tunnel release, through two poke holes.
Thread Carpal Tunnel Release (TCTR) frees the median nerve through two needle points under ultrasound guidance. No incision, no stitches — most patients type within days. Dr. Dashe is the only surgeon in the San Francisco Bay Area offering this procedure.
Per published outcomes data, most patients return to light work within days — many the next day.
Trigger finger release, the same way.
Thread Trigger Finger Release frees a finger that catches or locks by releasing the A1 pulley through two needle punctures under ultrasound guidance. No palm incision, no stitches, done in the office under local anesthetic. Offered on the fingers, not the thumb.

Leave with a plan
Conservative options first. If surgery is right, you'll know exactly why, and what recovery looks like.
"The best surgery is the one you don't need."
Conservative-first care philosophy
Dr. Dashe practices conservative-first care: splinting, targeted injections, and hand therapy before any operation is on the table. When surgery is the right choice, he specializes in minimally invasive techniques designed to get you back to work — not back to a waiting room.
You'll always know why a treatment is recommended, what the alternatives are, and what recovery really looks like.
