OVERVIEW
The word surgeon puts people on edge. You hear it and jump straight to the operating room, the recovery, the time off your feet. Here's what's worth knowing, though. A good orthopedic surgeon spends a lot of their time keeping people out of surgery, not rushing them into it. Our orthopedic surgeons handle the full range of bone, joint, and soft tissue problems, and their first move is almost never to cut. However, when surgery is the right call, a torn ligament that won't hold, a joint worn past what rehab can fix, a fracture that needs setting, you want someone who does it often and does it well. Fix the problem with the least you can, and bring the operating room in only when it's truly the answer.

Eric and his staff were awesome. I'm 71 years old and still very athletic. They did a fantastic job getting me back to the sports I love. I think they are the best physical therapy place in Phoenix

These people are wonderful. I had A fall down some stairs and had trouble with movement in my right knee. Hey they did a complete evaluation and then came up with a plan that worked me hard enough for progress but didn’t leave me sore. I started being able to bend my knee 90 degrees and after five weeks we were at 115 degrees! I highly recommend their friendly knowledgeable staff.

Answering Your Questions
Does seeing an orthopedic surgeon mean I'll need surgery?
Not at all. A big part of what orthopedic surgeons do is figure out whether surgery is even necessary, and for most problems it isn't. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of East Mesa, AZ, the surgeon weighs non-surgical options first and recommends a procedure only when the injury genuinely needs one.
When is surgery actually the right call?
For specific situations. A ligament torn through that won't hold the joint steady, a joint worn past what rehab can help, a fracture that needs fixing, or an injury that's had a real run of conservative care without responding. Short of those, non-surgical care usually comes first.
Will I try other treatments before surgery is considered?
In most cases, yes. Unless it's an injury that clearly needs a procedure right away, the surgeon typically works through strengthening, hands-on care, injections, and movement work first.
What happens at the first consultation?
The surgeon goes over the history of your problem, examines the area, and reviews any imaging. From there, they explain what's going on and lay out the options, surgical and non-surgical. You leave understanding your situation and the possible paths, not just a single recommendation.
What is recovery like after orthopedic surgery?
It depends entirely on the procedure. Most involve a period of healing followed by rehab to rebuild strength and motion. At our East Mesa clinic, we guide that recovery closely, since the rehab afterward is a big part of how well the surgery works out.
