Within the framework of my Commitment to Caring philosophy, the following are professional services and competencies that I can provide for your healthcare:

ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS
Accurate identification of a patient's injury or condition is key in delivering effective treatment. I diagnose and treat a wide range of Orthopedic and sports injuries - including broken bones, torn ligaments and tendons, dislocation, sprains, pulled muscles - and back problems, such as ruptured discs and sciatica.

Some of my patients have chronic problems that need ongoing attention, such as low back pain, scoliosis (curvature of the spine), and joint deformaties. I also identify and treat various forms of arthritis - one of the most common and disabling disorders of the musculoskeletal system.

SPECIALIZED TREATMENT
In addition to treating the more common Orthopedic problems, I offer sophisticated treatment for highly complex conditions. For example, I am familiar with the latest surgical procedures used to treat patients with fractures, spinal injuries and degenerative disc disorders. I also offer expertise in implantation of artificial joints, including hip, knee, elbow and shoulder, and arthroscopic surgery.

REHABILITATION
My practice offers rehabilitation services and sports training through various physical therapy centers. Patients are supervised by a Registered Therapist in a convenient location and comfortable environment.

PREVENTION AND EDUCATION
Perhaps my most important objective is educating patients to prevent injuries from occurring in the first place, or halting progression of disease. I take time to talk personally with each of my patients, discussing the latest scientific developments in the field and how they can best avoid future musculoskeletal problems.

INDUSTRIAL INJURIES
My Orthopedic practice has extensive experience in Workers' Compensation cases. I am keenly aware how important it is to provide appropriate and cost effective treatment for patients injured on the job, so that they can return to work in a timely manner. Yet, I also understand that patients need adequate time and treatment before they can return to work without causing themselves further harm.

MOTION PICTURE & TELEVISION INDUSTRY
We are dedicated to providing the finest quality care for our Motion Picture and SAG patients, providing care to "industry" professionals for over twenty years.

I work in conjunction with claims adjusters and employers to assure timely, efficient, quality care. To facilitate this process, my office accurately completes and promptly submits the appropriate forms.
