Patient stories
Doc and personal trainer trade expertise.
Personal Trainer Aaron Smith soldiered through elbow pain for years when other doctors recommended treatments that didn’t offer much assurance. When he realized his client Ryan Jander, MD, specialized in elbow surgery, it was a serendipitous moment.
For physical therapist-turned-surgeon, expert care for spinal disorders is second-nature.
From the time of his first knee injury as a high school athlete, Joseph L. Ferguson, MD, DPT, knew he wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon. On his way to turning those early ambitions into reality, his original interest in medicine gradually shifted to a related discipline—physical therapy.
Meet Shauna: Non-opioid medication offered pain relief and a faster recovery following rotator cuff surgery
When Shauna Kreider found out that she would need surgery for a torn rotator cuff, her heart sank. She already had surgery on her other shoulder a year before and experienced intense pain for days after surgery, followed by a lengthy recovery.
Her surgeon, Carter Mitchell, MD, was pleased to tell Shauna he would use a non-opioid medication called Exparel® which would leave her pain-free for three days after surgery.
