My approach to treating patients
Westlake Orthopedic's mission is to provide responsive, compassionate, and state of the art musculoskeletal care, to residents of the Conejo Valley and surrounding communities. I consider myself a "Family Orthopedist" who has the skills, knowledge and ability to treat the majority of orthopedic problems. I specialize in disorders of the shoulder, knee and hip. The practice includes newborns to senior citizens. We encourage a "sports-medicine" approach to rehabilitation which ensures a rapid and safe return to work and leisure activities.
My undergraduate and graduate education at UCLA included extensive studies in exercise physiology and biomechanics. Conservative management of most problems is usually recommended prior to considering surgical options. However, when surgery is indicated, minimally invasive surgical procedures are utilized to obtain the highest quality outcomes. This approach leads to a rapid return to work and leisure activities
We look forward to serving you, your family and your friends.
