I believe in a personalized approach to your treatment. Sir William Ostler once stated that “Medicine is not a science. It is an art based upon sciences” Cookbooks and Cookie Cutters have no place in the diagnosis and treatment of any orthopaedic condition. Your care won’t be managed by Assistants or Nurse Practitioners. I personally evaluate and develop your diagnosis. Together, you and I will develop YOUR treatment plan and will decide which plan offers to do the most for you and the least to you.
Like the other hundred plus Orthopaedic Surgeons in the state of Iowa, I am educated and trained (yes there is a difference) in general Orthopaedic Surgery. I provide nearly a full range of Orthopaedic care to patients of all ages.
In addition, I am one of only a handful of Orthopaedic Surgeons who are additionally educated and trained in Pediatric Orthopaedics. As a Fellowship Trained Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon, I am able to provide diagnostic, non-operative and operative care for the Orthopaedic problems affecting children and adolescents. I am the only surgeon in private practice in Iowa that provides non-operative and operative care for scoliosis and hip dysplasia.
