My approach to treating patients
My philosophy is to treat every patient as I might treat my parent, sibling, or best friend. I like to make sure you understand your problem to its fullest extent. I strive to provide a level of care that might equal or perhaps be above what can be offered in a larger city. I also like to minimize postoperative pain and expedite recovery by whatever proven means available. This allows many cases to be performed as an outpatient that might have previously required a significant hospital stay. Below are examples of the current modern techniques I routinely provide assuming appropriate indications are met. For a better understanding of these procedure please see my recommended links.
Shoulder: >Arthroscopic capsular shrinkage for subtle shoulder instability >Arthroscopic shoulder stabilization for recurrent dislocations >Arthroscopic distal clavicle excision for painful acromioclavicular degenerative joint disease >Arthroscopically-assisted mini-open rotator cuff repair (smaller incision = less pain) >Arthroscopic subacromial decompression for painful impingement syndrome >Arthroscopic labral repair and/or debridement for labral pathology
Wrist: >Arthroscopic wrist ganglion excision (Two very small incisions to remove the unsightly cyst) >Arthroscopic wrist ligament debridement (Continued wrist pain after a wrist fracture or fall with normal x-rays)
Hand: >Percutaneous trigger finger release (Release performed in office under local anesthesia) >Mini-incision carpal tunnel release (Less pain and quicker recovery)
Knee: >Arthroscopically-assisted anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction >Arthroscopically-assisted cartilage transfer procedures >Arthroscopic meniscal repair >Arthroscopic patellar realignment
Ankle: >Arthroscopic ankle debridement (For vague ankle pain with normal X-rays) >Arthroscopic ankle fusion (For severe arthritis without the increased risk of infection)
Foot: >Bunion surgery stabilized with absorbable implants (Allows immediate weight-bearing)
