An orthopedic surgeon is a surgical specialist specializing in treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and abnormalities and the treatment may range from advise, medication, physical therapy, the cast, or reconstructive surgery.
My orthopedic practice is concentrated on two subspecialty areas. The first is minimally invasive endoscopic or arthroscopic surgery. I have a long experience with arthroscopic surgery of the knee, shoulder, elbow, and ankle and we have been performing endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery for over 10 years with over 300 cases.
My other area of concentration has been joint replacement arthroplasty and our office currently performs over 150 hip and knee replacements per year and my total experience is over 1,000 total hips and 1,000 total knees. We have recently been able to offer minimally invasive hip replacement surgery as well as minimally invasive unicompartmental knee arthroplasties for our patients.
