We provide experience in comprehensive orthopedic evaluation so patients receive the most appropriate orthopedic care, whether it be surgical or not. We work with patients to develop a meaningful treatment plan for the musculoskeletal problem as it relates to their lives.
This division is staffed by orthopedic surgeons, but is oriented toward a) diagnosis of problems -- to sort out which may need surgical intervention and b) to offer conservative treatment for those not needing surgery. For those patients who may need surgery, we try to make sure all appropriate information of a medical and administrative nature is available to our surgical colleagues before referring them on. We make an effort to be available for patients to be seen quickly for urgent problems, such as follow-ups after emergency department visits. |
