Surgery is a major step in treating orthopedic conditions and we take it very seriously. Prior to recommending surgery, we work with our patients and medical team to fully assess the condition. Whenever possible, less invasive means of treatment are considered and followed first. When surgery is necessary, we provide a wide range of services from minimally-invasive to highly complex surgical procedures. Coupled with post-operative rehabilitation, our orthopedic patients are more likely to recover faster.
