The treat­ment options I offer are based on my expe­ri­ence work­ing with pro­fes­sion­al, col­le­giate, high school and recre­ation­al ath­letes of all ages. These treat­ment options are guid­ed by evi­dence based med­i­cine and include the lat­est and most inno­v­a­tive sur­gi­cal tech­niques that have been shown to result in excel­lent out­comes. When patients leave my office, I want them to under­stand all their treat­ment options and feel con­fi­dent they have made the best deci­sion for their health and well-being” expressed the doctor.
