Evaluation and treatment
Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Care Built Around Your Diagnosis
The right treatment begins with the right diagnosis. Your first step is a visit where the foot, ankle, lower leg, movement and circulation are considered together.
Conservative and Surgical Care
Depending on your symptoms and exam, your visit may include X-ray or advanced imaging, musculoskeletal ultrasound or vascular testing. This shows whether the problem is orthopedic, venous, arterial, neurologic or a mix.
Treatment can be conservative or surgical, matched to what the exam finds. See our diagnostics and imaging services.
