What We Do

Last year, we were able to treat nearly 83%

of our newpatients without surgery, a statistic

every surgeon should strive for. 

Our practice is dedicated exclusively to surgical and non-surgical care of the Shoulder and Elbow. Over 90% our surgical procedures are performed with minimally invasive arthroscopy, using small cameras and incisions less than 5mm in size. Complex fracture care and shoulder replacement surgeries are performed using open minimally invasive techniques designed to minimize incisions and disruption of surrounding tissues which speed recovery and reduce pain. 

If you can laugh together,

you can work together.

Insurance Policy

NEARLY ALL MAJOR INSURANCE PLANS ACCEPTED

In an effort to care for our patients and community as best we can, we accept almost all insurance carriers. Unfortunately though, many patients and families cannot afford health insurance.  We are happy to accommodate for those without insurance on needs basis with deferred payments, credit application assistance, and payment plans. Because we are a Medicare provider it is considered Medicare fraud to not

charge an uninsured patient; We will do whatever we can toensure that all

needs are met for our patients. 

Referrals

We do not require a referral to be seen. Many of our patients are referred to us by friends, patients, or word of mouth. Also, many patients find us through internet research. We are happy to see all patients. 

It is important to know that some insurance companies do, however, require a referral for specialty care. Your insurance carrier will have this information, but we are happy to help if you need it.
