Putting patients first

"Patients often worry that seeing an orthopaedic surgeon means they will have surgery.  In reality, only about 10% of my patients ever require surgery.   I am well-able to help the rest with a multitude of other treatments.  If I could, I'd wave a magic wand over them and get them all better without surgery."
