Message to Patients:
“I believe that the vast majority of orthopaedic problems are amenable to conservative, non-surgical treatments. When surgery becomes an option, I believe that patients need to have all the facts regarding both surgical and non-surgical treatments so that they may be an integral part in the treatment decision making process.”
