Adolescent Orthopedic Surgery

Children are still growing and as a result, problems relating to their muscles and bones require particular care. Our pediatric orthopedic surgeons are experienced in managing children’s musculoskeletal problems such as broken bones, gait abnormalities, limb and spine deformities and bone or joint infections or tumors.

Sports Medicine

As more people participate in organized sports or engage in vigorous and repetitive exercise, this specialty has seen rapid growth in recent years. Bones and joints become more susceptible to injury with repeated exercise over time. Our sports medicine physicians are dedicated to helping all active people, not only athletes, remain active and maintain their level of fitness.

Knee and Shoulder Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy allows surgeons to get an "inside" view of the patient by means of a tiny camera inserted through a small incision. This allows the surgeon to perform any number of corrective procedures and to diagnose certain conditions while avoiding major surgery especially on knees and shoulders.
