The Truth About Orthopedic Surgery
There is a version of this story that goes straight to a surgical consult. That is not how we work. Most people who come into our Gilbert clinic are dealing with something that has been affecting their daily life for a while, and they want to know what can actually be done. More often than not, the answer does not involve surgery.
