Right hand dominant - Nicole


Posted: Jul 01, 2010

Is this correct?    right-hand-dominant male

One of my doctors uses this phrase all the time and this is always the way I have typed it. I just want to know if I am typing it correctly, and if it is not correct what is the correct way to type it?

My thanks to anyone who answers

right-hand-dominant is - correct
