01

Shoulder

We understand the complex anatomy of the shoulder and how shoulder pain can impede your quality of life. We have many tools including office procedures, physical therapy and surgical intervention that can return your restful night sleep, increase your range of motion and improve your quality of life. Treatment for rotator cuff tears, fractures, shoulder tendonitis, frozen shoulder, and shoulder arthritis is tailored to your specific situation.

02

Hip

There can be many causes for your hip pain. The care of your hip begins with a complete evaluation of possible multiple body systems that can all generate pain in the hip region. We are experts at separating true hip pain from other forms of referred pain. Hip arthritis, tendonitis, and bursitis can be treated with numerous methods. Let us help determine which one is right for you.

03

Knee

People with knee injuries and knee arthritis represent one of our largest patient populations. We continue to raise the bar of excellence for knee care. This includes providing treatment and products with clinically proven superiority, while always minimizing patient discomfort and minimizing the invasiveness of our care. We can provide many patients the opportunity for non-surgical management of their knee condition when other physicians would automatically recommend surgery. We are THE EXPERTS in managing your knee problems.

04

Fractures

We are experts in the proper care of traumatic orthopaedic injuries. We provide emergency care of fractures, including those requiring hospitalization and surgery. We treat patients with upper and lower extremity fractures of all types. Many of these broken bones can be treated with nonsurgical techniques and others may be managed with outpatient surgery. We provide comprehensive orthopaedic care until your traumatic injury is resolved.

05

Wrist & Hand

Severe hand pain at night may be the onset of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. A finger that catches or a deformity of the palm of the hand may have an easy and quick solution. Do not let this rob you of your sleep. These conditions of the hand may respond to simple pain-free treatment methods. Whatever the cause we will design the best treatment protocol for your individual needs.
