My Approach to Treating Patients

I am a general orthopedic surgeon with a subspecialty in Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy. I try to give each patient as much time as possible to discuss each orthopedic problem. The patient is given ample time to explain the history of their problem. A thorough physical exam is then performed. X-rays can be obtained in my office, if needed. Physical Therapy or other imaging modalities can then be ordered. Surgery is usually a last resort treatment.
