My approach to treating patients
I believe that my patients should be well-informed about all aspects of their care. Knowledgeable patients make better decisions, and are more involved in their care. That is why I explain each step of the diagnostic process to determine your treatment options. Surgery may or not be advisable, and I will tell you so. I encourage learning from any other sources you trust (Internet, friends, another doctor, etc.), and asking questions. I welcome discussing anything you find, so we can apply it to your individual case.
I believe in a comprehensive program with the goal of returning you to full function without pain. I incorporate the latest advancements with the proven traditional methods to reach this goal. I prefer a hands-on approach, and see all new patients myself. This program also encourages your involvement in the decision process and participation in all therapeutic measures. I feel this approach will optimize your final outcome.
I am happy to welcome my new physician assistant, Megan Stiehr. She helps me with some cast removals, knee injections, pre-operative evaluations and selected other issues.
