Orthopedics & Orthopedic Surgery

Whether an injury is related to home, work or recreation, the return of efficient function is crucial. We use the most recent advances in diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.

Orthopedists are medical doctors who have had five years of additional training in this specialty area.

Orthopedists treat people of all ages to restore functions lost from disease or injury, to correct birth abnormalities and to educate patients in the prevention of injury and disease. There are many forms of treatment, including casting, exercise, medications and surgery.
