I believe that orthopaedic care should be personal, with time available to discuss your problem and the various treatment options.  A comprehensive consultation includes an examination and ordering or review of diagnostic tests, including x-rays and, if warranted, MRI scans.  I will often recommend initiating treatment with specific stretching and strengthening exercises, with a referral for physical therapy, and sometimes with a prescription for medication and/or shoe modifications.  Many patients will find that their problems resolve with this type of treatment.  I will recommend surgery for patients with certain specific injuries and for those whose condition does not improve.

My approach to orthopaedic care is based upon my training in sports medicine.  My special interest is the care of orthopaedic injuries to performing artists.  I am Orthopaedist to Mark Morris Dance Group, Paul Taylor Dance Company, Parsons Dance Company, Merce Cunningham Dance Company, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, Ballet Hispanico and, for their New York engagements, Cirque du Soleil.  I have served as Orthopaedist for 30 Broadway and off-Broadway theatrical productions, including The Will Rogers Follies, Guys & Dolls, Miss Saigon, Cats, Grease, Monty Python's Spamalot, and Riverdance on Broadway.  At present I serve as Orthopaedist to Wicked at the Gershwin Theatre, Shrek the Musical at the Broadway Theatre, and 9 to 5 the Musical at the Marriott Marquis Theatre.  I am also Orthopaedist to The Juilliard School, where I work with student musicians, dancers, actors and singers.
