My approach to treating patients
Whether you're making the decision for orthopaedic care, or would just like to expand your knowledge, I hope this site helps you become informed and more confident about the incredible realm of orthopaedic treatments available.
I believe that knowledgeable patients make the best decisions about their own treatment. That's why I explain every step of the diagnostic process. Next, I want my patients to understand their condition: How it developed and how various treatment approaches can improve or repair the problem. When we consider treatment alternatives, I present a realistic outlook on the results we can achieve. I'll also be frank about any risks that might be involved. If a non-surgical option is available, I'll explain that avenue in depth.
My main interests are total hip replacement, total knee replacement, and knee arthroscopy. I perform anterior approach total hip replacement, a less-invasive technique, which avoids cutting any muscles or tendons off of the bone. Anterior approach total hip replacement requires no postoperative restrictions, and can offer a less painful recovery and a faster return to normal activities than the traditional total hip replacement. I also use computer navigation for total knee replacements, which has been shown to improve the accuracy of implant position, and can potentially improve the performance and longevity of the replacement.
The best compliment I receive is when patients recommend me to one of their family members or friends.
