Treatment Philosophy
I believe in treating the whole patient, not just their upper extremity injury or condition, as each is unique to each individual patient. My goal as your provider is to inform and educate patients on their diagnosis and treatment options and through shared decision making create a treatment plan that aligns with your goals.
Patient Comments
I would definitely recommend this provider.
He was very good and explained my treatment
Vary professional and nice
Dr Informed me of an option to relieve thumb pain (injection). I asked if the injection could strengthen my thumb, but sadly it would not. He explained that my thumb will likely lock up at some point in the future. Since the pain is minimal, and he said I could return anytime for this, I decided to hold off on the injection. My Dr & staff were very kind, thorough and informative.
My doctor is very knowledgeable and professional.
