treatments just over the past few years.

Treatment During Surgery
Not all orthopaedic treatment requires surgery. Treatment can involve medical advice, medications, casts, splints, and exercise.
When surgery is necessary, our team of specially trained board-certified physicians, nurses and clinical staff give patients the best care before, during and
after surgery.
We provide:
- modern and sophisticated techniques to ensure patient comfort
- pre-operative classes for patients who want information on physical therapy and what to expect during their hospital stay
- a new medical technology for patients in treating post-operative pain for knee replacements
