I am a board certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine, shoulder, elbow, and knee surgery.  Are you currently limited by injury or pain?  Do you want the best care but not have to wait weeks or months to be seen?  Do you want a doctor to spend the time with you to sincerely listen to your story, concerns and expectations and then thoroughly explain the reason for your symptoms and the treatment options in a clearly understandable way?  Do you want to share in the decision making regarding the best treatment for you, as opposed to being told what surgery you need?  Do you want to always be seen by your doctor, as opposed to a physician's assistant or nurse practitioner?

Then call my office today and experience the way elite orthopedic care should be.  With my unique scheduling system, I provide same and next day appointments.  I respect your time with prompt and thorough evaluations.  I devote the necessary time to each of my patients to thoroughly listen and then together decide on the optimal, personalized and customized treatment for your needs and expectations.  It is no wonder that the Arizona Rattlers, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Chicago White Sox trust me to take care of their players.  Experience the way elite orthopedic care can and should be delivered.  Call 602-631-3161 today, or visit my website at www.orthopedicarizona.com!

I understand that whether you are a professional athlete, a weekend warrior or a minimally active sedentary individual, you have unique circumstances, goals and expectations when faced with injury or pain.  These factors can only be thoroughly understood with careful attention and listening to you.  I always try to respect your time with prompt but thorough evaluations, and then discuss plainly all of your options in a way that is understandable.  I believe that the best outcomes result from shared decision making regarding the most personalized, customized treatment plan to return you to an active lifestyle.

I not only take care of general orthopedic problems, but I have undergone advanced subspecialty fellowship training and have devoted my career to taking care of patients with problems affecting the shoulder, elbow and knee.  I also specialize in taking care of all athletic injuries, and I am currently the Head Team Physician for the 3-time World Champion Arizona Rattlers Arena Football Team.  I am also a Team Physician for the Arizona Diamondbacks Major League Baseball team, the Chicago White Sox Major League Baseball team during spring training, and multiple other high school and club athletic teams.

I have trained and devoted my career to providing the most advanced, cutting-edge non-surgical and surgical treatments for athletic injuries and conditions affecting the shoulder, elbow and knee.  I specialize in not only simple, straightforward problems, but also in the most complicated conditions affecting patients for which other orthopedic surgeons refer to me.  I perform all minimally invasive arthroscopic surgeries as well as complex open surgeries.  Utilizing the most advanced techniques, I am one of few surgeons to offer out-patient shoulder and knee replacement surgery to my patients.  Likewise, I am the first surgeon in Arizona to use advanced, patient-specific reverse shoulder replacement technology.  Also, as a member of the shoulder implant design team, I contribute to advancing technology and educating other surgeons about the newest technologies and techniques available.

My team and I value your feedback.  It is ongoing patient feedback that allows us to continually improve upon our ability to provide you with premiere care and ensure your experience is an excellent one.  If you had a great experience, please tell a friend or family member.  Likewise, we value any suggestions on how we can improve our care to you.  Thank you for trusting my team and I at OrthoArizona to get you "back in the game."
