Our physicians are dedicated dedicated to the fair and compassionate treatment of all patients. We believe strongly in maximizing conservative non-operative measures and are known for our sound judgment and thoughtful manner. In cases where operative intervention is needed, our priority is ensuring that we educate the patient and that the patient (and his/her family) is comfortable with their options. The physician’s utmost concern is not only the relief of pain and increase in function, but also the overall improvement in the patient’s lifestyle.
