Care Philosophy
This content was provided by Dr. Cantrell "A Goal Oriented Approach: "Each patient's recovery goals are distinct - to restore function, return to the team, get back to work, or to resume a favorite activity abandoned long ago. My aim is to fully understand my patients' orthopaedic problem and recovery goals, then partner with them to help achieve these goals."
Part of the Team: "I see the patient and me as a team, working toward a common goal. From diagnosis, to treatment, to rehabilitation, I am committed to doing everything within my power to help our team reach its goals.""
