Care Philosophy: As a Physiatrist, I believe that the first step in treatment is to arrive at the correct diagnosis. Once an accurate diagnosis is established, we should proceed with the most conservative treatments. After a precise diagnosis has been made, physical therapy is utilized to treat the injury . If this fails, then non-addictive medications can be considered. If they fail, then injections may be performed. I see my job as being your health consultant.
