Adhesive Capsulitis Shoulder near Avon, IN

Care Philosophy: ``My philosophy of care is based on first educating the patient, giving them their options, and then ultimately deciding how urgent the surgery is or the treatment is. Most patients, if possible, if they can still have a good chance at a good outcome, they're going to want the less-invasive treatment option. If from there we decide that may not be the best option for a good outcome, I work to steer my patients towards the route of surgery.``

Care Philosophy: ``I like to form a partnership with my patients. I frequently tell them my job is to give you the treatment options, to help you understand what's going on with your body. From there I work to understand the issue, how it is affecting their life, and what their goals and aspirations are as that is a very important part of the decision-making process from an orthopedic standpoint.``

Care Philosophy: ``I focus on a team approach with my patients. I always tell my joint replacement patients that I have about an hour to do their hip or knee, that's about how long it takes. After that I'm their cheerleader. I'm controlling some of the aspects of their physical therapy but otherwise I'm just a friend that's trying to help them along. I also work to educate patients in the process, so they have the knowledge they need to fully understand their condition and how to improve it going forward.``

Care Philosophy: As an active person and athlete, I can relate to my patients. My goal is to help find ways to keep my patients in their sport even in the midst of injuries.

Care Philosophy: ``I really try to individualize care to my patients with my end-goal being that patients feel comfortable, have all their questions answered and, when they leave, understand their treatment plan. Often I will work to establish that comfort by building a relationship with my patients outside of medicine. I will ask them about their hobbies, their family so that they feel relaxed and aren't intimidated.``

Care Philosophy: ``My philosophy of care is that I want to take care of both the whole person and the whole family. Our lives are complex and we're more than just a medical condition. When I have a new patient in the office I really want to get to know outside of their medical condition. I first want to know who they are and then I want to know all of their medical problems, including what their history is, what their medicines are and what role stress or diet plays in their life. We put all of this together to figure out how can we really optimize their total health.``
