At Advanced Orthopedics New England, we treat our patients as individuals. We know that orthopedic surgery can be challenging, so rest assured that our doctors are the best in their field. When a patient visits one of our orthopedic specialists, they receive an individualized treatment plan designed to promote fast and lasting healing. Visiting the orthopedist doctor can speed recovery time if there is a suspected traumatic or repetitive motion injury to a bone, joint, or tendon. In addition, an orthopedic specialist is an important part of treatment when a patient is experiencing chronic joint, bone or muscle pain, is diagnosed with a rheumatic disease, or has arthritis. We offer effective and comprehensive techniques for the assessment and treatment of simple and complex orthopedic injuries and diseases in patients of all ages. We provide skilled, compassionate care focused squarely on the needs of the individual patient. Each treatment recommendation is founded on an in-depth analysis of a patient’s medical needs, overall health, and personal treatment objectives to ensure optimal outcomes. Our doctors are highly trained in their field of expertise and are dedicated to getting patients back to their optimum health and activity as soon as possible; our sports medicine team has specific expertise getting patients back playing as a priority.
