Joint Replacement
Not only is there special expertise required in replacing a knee, hip or shoulder, but the continuum of post-surgical care also is specialized. We work with patients from their disabled condition through final gait training or physical therapy to promote recovery to their fullest potential.
Spinal Disorders
From conservative, non-operative treatment to surgical options, including disk surgery and spinal fusions, our fellowship-trained physicians stay abreast of advancements in spine surgery. Our surgeons research various options that may increase your chance for successful treatment.
Sports Medicine
Serving as team physicians for some community high schools and local colleges, some of our doctors also teach athletic trainers, school nurses, paramedic technicians and resident doctors the art of sports medicine.
Hand, Shoulder, Foot and Ankle - Hand - Our surgeons work closely with plastic surgeons for delicate handwork from microsurgery to outpatient procedures.
