| | Philosophy of care/General Information: | As a PA, I value the team approach to medicine. The collaboration
between PAs, physicians, residents, nurses and other medical staff can
dramatically improve the quality of care received by the patient. The
interdependent relationship between an experienced, specially trained
orthopedic surgeon and PA ensures continuity of patient healthcare,
commitment to personalized treatment, and makes certain patients will
have greater access to care. The goal of this team is to magnify the
efficiency and safety in the clinic and operating room, and to make
certain the patient is receiving superior and quality care. | | Clinic locations and days of week: | Sports Medicine Clinic - Wednesday, Friday
