MISSION STATEMENT
I take pride in providing modern treatment in the context of “old fashioned” medicine. By this, I mean the patient should have clear communication as to the nature of his or her problem and different treatment options. Teamwork and communication between me, my staff, and the patient are critical. Our job is to make patients feel as comfortable as possible regarding their injuries or painful conditions, notwithstanding difficult circumstances. Orthopedic care is not always operative; but, when surgery is done, it should be based on sound judgment and performed with expertise. Despite our technological advances in orthopedic surgery, medical care should be individualized and personalized as much as possible.
