Radiculopathy near Maple Grove, MN

Care Philosophy: My passion for foot and ankle surgery stems from the ability to improve patients' quality of life and return to daily activities. It's important to remember that we are dealing with quality of life issues. Therefore, I support you, the patient, in driving the decision-making process for the path we take to improve your daily life. It's uncommon to face a condition in foot and ankle disorders in which a surgical intervention must be performed. I will inform you, educate you and answer your questions so you can make a well-informed decision that's right for you and your goals.

Care Philosophy: I am an orthopedic surgeon who is fellowship-trained in hip and knee replacement. Patients with osteoarthritis, or any type of arthritis, may benefit from replacement surgery. I also offer partial knee replacement which can be an excellent option for patients with severe arthritis in just one part of their knee. I chose this specialty because so many patients say, "I feel like I got my life back," after having surgery; there is nothing more thrilling than hearing that. When treating hip and knee arthritis, I think it is critical to exhaust all nonoperative treatments, and then to work with each patient to decide when it's the right time for them to have surgery. After surgery, I want to help patients get through recovery and rehabilitation as quickly as possible so they can get back to the activities they enjoy.

Care Philosophy: I am an orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee replacement, as well as surgical fixation of bone fractures. I am committed to providing compassionate care to my patients based on sound medical knowledge, good clinical judgment and experience. I am a critical thinker who believes that the key to good patient outcomes and great satisfaction is effective communication and mutual trust between the patient and the physician. My ultimate goal from every encounter is shared decision making and a treatment plan that incorporates the patient's needs, preferences and beliefs.
