My Approach to Treating Patients
"The philosophy of my knee-focused practice is to provide accurate diagnosis utilizing my clinical experience as well as appropriate available technology. Once such diagnosis is made, my goal is to educate my patients to such an extent that they understand fully their problem as well as their treatment options.
My care is management without surgery if possible and with it if non-operative measures fail, providing surgery is indicated and the patient desires it."
