Regenerative Medicine
Our regenerative medicine program offers innovative treatments using Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) stem cell therapy. These advanced biological treatments promote natural tissue healing for joint and soft tissue injuries. Ideal for patients seeking non-surgical options, these injections can accelerate recovery from chronic conditions and sports injuries while potentially delaying or avoiding surgical intervention.
Shoulder Surgery
We specialize in comprehensive shoulder care including arthroscopic and open surgical techniques. Our surgeons perform advanced procedures for rotator cuff tears, labral repairs, shoulder replacements, and instability corrections. With specialized expertise in complex shoulder reconstructions and revision surgeries, we help patients regain full shoulder function and alleviate chronic pain through personalized treatment approaches.
Knee Surgery
Our knee surgery program addresses both acute injuries and chronic conditions using the latest arthroscopic techniques. We perform ACL and ligament reconstructions, meniscus repairs, cartilage restoration procedures, and total knee replacements. Our surgeons specialize in customized surgical solutions for athletes and active individuals seeking to return to high-demand activities following knee injuries or degenerative conditions.
Hip Surgery
We offer advanced hip preservation techniques and surgical interventions for hip joint conditions. Our services include minimally invasive hip arthroscopy, femoroacetabular impingement correction, labral repairs, and total hip replacements. Our specialists focus on maintaining natural hip anatomy when possible while providing effective solutions for arthritis, cartilage damage, and structural abnormalities.
Physical Rehabilitation
Our integrated physical rehabilitation program is designed to optimize recovery after orthopedic procedures. Working with experienced physical therapists, patients receive customized exercise regimens and recovery protocols tailored to their specific surgical procedures. This essential component of care helps restore mobility, rebuild strength, and achieve maximum functional outcomes following both surgical and non-surgical treatments.
