My Treatment Philosophy
Every patient is unique, and so is every treatment plan. In the approach I have developed over many years, I evaluate each patient thoroughly and tailor current, evidence-based treatment to their individual situation.
Surgery is always the last option. When conservative treatment is sufficient, surgery is avoided. When surgery is needed, arthroscopic and minimally invasive techniques are preferred.
Keeping patients informed and involving them in decisions is central to my approach. Clear communication and detailed information are provided at every stage.
