Whether reviewing anatomic models of the shoulder, hip, or knee to understand the condition or analyzing x-rays, CT scans, or MRIs, I feel that knowledgeable patients will make the best decisions about their own treatment. We will review realistic expectations of each treatment option. It is important that each treatment plan be individualized for each patients goals and expectations, and I will help and support your decisions during the process.
