Orthopedics has become so complex it is virtually impossible for any one physician to master all areas. That is why we, at Orthopaedic Specialists, chose to sub specialize. In doing so we provide our patients with the very best care and the latest technological advances. All physicians at Orthopaedic Specialists are board-certified/eligible and fellowship trained.

In addition to our Board Certified Physicians, our clinical personnel are committed to providing the kind of personalized care and attention to your needs that you would expect from a highly focused professional organization.

Physician assistants (PAs) provide healthcare services under the supervision of the doctors at Orthopaedic Specialists. Working as members of the healthcare team, they take medical histories, examine and treat patients, order and interpret laboratory tests and x rays, make diagnoses, and prescribe medications. They also treat minor injuries, by suturing, splinting, and casting.
