We Treat Over 50 Conditions With Specialty Programs
Avascular Necrosis
Avascular Necrosis
Avascular necrosis is a progressive disease in which bone deteriorates due to lack of blood supply, causing significant pain, disability, and eventual loss of the joint itself. We offer innovative treatments for pre-collapse AVN, including core decompression, free tissue transfer, and joint replacement.
Brachial Plexus
Brachial Plexus
Damage to nerves in the shoulder, neck, or chest can lead to arm pain, numbness, or even paralysis. Our advanced diagnostic testing and surgical techniques offer significant and restorative relief for patients with a brachial plexus injury, including nerve decompression, transplant, transfer, and grafting.Breast Reconstruction
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction helps breast cancer survivors regain their confidence. We are changing the landscape of breast reconstruction surgery with innovative procedures, such as DIEP flap surgery. Our skilled surgeons use sophisticated techniques that focus on the patient for beautiful, natural results.Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery
Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery
From fingertips to shoulders, injuries to your hands and upper extremities can have a significant impact on the quality of your life. Trauma-related injuries, such as fractures and sprains, and nerve injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow, can lead to chronic pain and functional impairments if left untreated.Headaches & Migraines
Headaches & Migraines
Those who suffer from migraines understand the debilitating pain and nausea they can bring. Migraines are a recurrent headache disorder that manifests in attacks lasting for up to 72 hours, causing throbbing or pulsing pain often on one side of the head. When medication isn’t enough, our innovative treatments, such as Botox® injections and nerve decompression surgery, offer hope.Lymphedema
Lymphedema
Lymphedema causes abnormal fluid buildup, leading to swelling that can restrict range of motion. We are among the few physicians in the world offering advanced treatment for lymphedema. Our cutting-edge microsurgical procedures, such as lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA), give patients pain-free movement.Neuropathy
Neuropathy
Peripheral nerve damage or compression can lead to a chronic condition known as neuropathy, resulting in pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness of your extremities. Our innovative nerve decompression surgery has been successful in up to 90 percent of well-selected neuropathy patients. The procedure is minimally invasive, requiring only small incisions over the affected area thus promoting a quicker recovery.Pain Management
Pain Management
Our pain management program takes a comprehensive approach to treatment, combining surgical and non-surgical methods. With a focus on physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) services, our pain management specialists help patients manage neck pain, back pain, pelvic pain, phantom limb pain, and more.Phrenic Nerve
Phrenic Nerve
The phrenic nerves are critical for breathing, relaying messages from your brain to your diaphragm muscle. Injury to the nerves can lead to a condition known as diaphragm paralysis. We are pioneers in treating phrenic nerve damage, using advanced nerve reconstruction surgery to reverse diaphragm paralysis.Pudendal Neuralgia
Pudendal Neuralgia
Pudendal neuralgia is caused by the entrapment, compression, or dysfunction of the pudendal nerve, leading to chronic pelvic pain. It can be very complex and difficult to treat. Our surgeons are experts in complicated nerve procedures, using pudendal nerve decompression surgery to relieve pain and discomfort.Sports Hernia
Sports Hernia
A sports hernia is an injury to a tendon or muscle in the lower abdomen or groin that results in chronic pain. Though not a true hernia, a sports hernia causes chronic groin pain, especially with strenuous physical activities. We have pioneered several advanced surgical treatments to treat sports hernia pain.Our Teams
