HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
I care deeply about my patients. I will take the time to listen to your story, understand what is important to you, and develop a plan together to get you back on your feet. Find out more about my specialties under the "Services" section.
DETERMINING A DIAGNOSIS
The first, and most important part of our evaluation is obtaining a thorough medical history, focusing on the problem you’re experiencing now. Next, I will obtain X-rays in our office to evaluate your bones and joints. I will review these with you so that you understand exactly what is going on. When necessary, I may also order an MRI or CT scan to further evaluate and diagnose your problem.
DEVELOPING A TREATMENT PLAN
I always prefer to start out with conservative, non-surgical treatment options. This may include physical therapy, medications, injections, bracing, activity modification, or other modalities. If all else fails, surgery is an option – I have extensive expertise in general orthopedic surgery such as fracture fixation and arthroscopy, with a special interest in minimally invasive hip and knee replacements.
PLANNING SURGERY & RECOVERY
I am extremely dedicated to providing the absolute best surgical care to all of my patients. There are no hoops to jump through in order to get in touch with me. I provide my personal cell phone number to all of my surgical patients, and respond quickly to text and phone calls with any concerns or questions pre- or post-op.
