We are able to offer complete evaluation and treatment for all types of orthopaedic injuries and help each patient achieve his or her goals. Each physician will take the time to evaluate your condition and make sure you understand your diagnosis and treatment and are an active participant in the treatment process. Treatments may include further diagnostic imaging (MRI or CT scans), physical therapy, medications, injections, or possibly surgical interventions. We take pride in the fact that virtually all of our treatments and procedures are based upon the most up-to-date research in orthopaedics and are on the forefront of innovation in their particular field.

Arthroscopic/Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques:

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique where small incisions are made at the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, or ankle for evaluation and treatment. One incision is made for the arthroscope (a camera smaller than the size of a pencil) that allows the surgeon to visualize the inside of the joint. One or more other small incisions give the surgeon access for the the surgical instruments. When compared with the traditional open surgical techniques, this involves less trauma to the soft tissues and muscle and therefore allows for a quicker, less painful recovery. This generally allows for surgeries to be performed electively and patients are able to return home the same day as surgery. More complex cases that may require a hospital facilities.

Sports Medicine:

Our team consists of experts in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of sports-related injuries. We work with athletes from all levels spanning from high school and amateur athletics to professional athletes. Our goal is to get athletes back to their pre-injury level of activity as soon as possible. Numerous treatment options are available for each type of injury and each treatment must be customized to your individual goals. While conservative, non-operative treatments should be utilized initially for orthopaedic injuries (physical therapy, anti-inflammatories, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) Injections, etc.), surgical interventions are sometimes necessary. Our sports medicine experts utilize the most modern and minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques for treatment of shoulder, knee, hip, and ankle injuries.
