Dr. Raffo's bio
This content was provided by Dr. Raffo "I specialize in the treatment of adult and pediatric sports medicine and orthopedic disorders. Surgically, I specialize in arthroscopic shoulder and knee surgery. My practice philosophy is to treat each patient in a professional, cordial, and both time and cost-efficient manner. I coordinate care with a team of athletic trainers and physical therapists to provide comprehensive orthopedic care in the office, employing the latest techniques (such as PRP) to rehab your injuries in a non-surgical environment. When surgery is necessary,you will get the most modern arthroscopic techniques (when appropriate). Finally, our office culture is geared around customer service. We are constantly trying to improve our office based experience. We understand that everyone's life is busy and we make the appointment about you."
