My approach to treating patients

The practice emphasis is on diagnosis and treatment of compressed nerves resulting in discomfort and/or limitation of activity. Minimally invasive surgical techniques (arthroscopy and other percutaneus methods) are emphaized in solving hand, elbow and shoulder and knee problems thus minimizing discomfort and accelerating recovery.

Treatment is founded on scientific principles and applied as I would want for myself or my family. Using this approach involves thorough patient education including custom illustrated brochures and videos. This has consistently resulted in an extremely high rate of patient satisfaction without "breaking the bank."

On site x-ray and state-of-the-art electrodiagnostic equipment and Pressure Specified Sensory Device allows on the spot convenience and thoroughness.
