Care Philosophy: My Practice Philosophy: I treat every patient with courtesy, kindness and compassion. I personally see and examine each patient during every outpatient visit. I discuss the diagnosis and treatment options and do my best to guide patients in choosing the treatments best suited to their individual needs and preferences. My patients leave their outpatient appointments feeling well-informed and involved in the decision- making process regarding their treatment. I attempt to treat all my patients by non-surgical methods initially, and only recommend surgery when this becomes the best option. Whenever surgery does become necessary, I always do my best to operate with great care and thoroughness. I constantly update my skills and keep abreast of current advances in Orthopaedics by extensive reading, online learning and by attending courses.
