The Truth About Orthopedic Surgery
Mesa is a big city, and people here stay active. Physical jobs, weekend hikes, youth sports on the sidelines, and keeping up with a busy house. When something starts hurting and does not quit, surgery starts feeling inevitable. It usually is not. We go through conservative options first every time, and we do not move past that unless the evidence actually calls for it. Most people who come in are further from needing surgery than they expected.
If there’s a 90% chance you don’t need surgery… why start with a surgeon?
