Education

"'Knowledge is power.' That's what my dad Leon used to say to me. I think that statement is true with the practice of medicine. Patient education is a powerful tool because it leads to better results. Patients that have a better understanding of their medical condition and treatment plan do better. The educational links in this section will provide you with answers to many common orthopedic problems."

"Many of my patients have referred to these pages during the course of their treatment. The knee links discussing meniscus and ACL tears are the most popular. My patients with arthritis are encouraged to learn about the latest treatment options. The link to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) directs you to the patient information section where there are many orthopedic resources in English and Spanish. Finally, subscribe to my blog to get the latest updates in orthopedics."

"Knowledge about you medical condition can give you the power to make better healthcare decision. Here's to your health."
