The healing process after surgery often requires physical therapy and exercises to enhance your recovery and function.  Dr. A will follow you regularly until full healing has occurred.

What if I have questions after my surgery?

Having surgery can feel overwhelming at times.  Dr. A will provide his personal email to you should you have concerns or questions at anytime, or you may call our office.  We will address your concerns and guide you through the process.

If surgery is not required, what else can I do?

Many orthopedic injuries can be treated equally well, if not better, with non-surgical measures.  Often, this will include a structured program with a physiotherapist, use of customized bracing, or injections to supplement your healing.  Dr. A will be happy to give his recommendations to you.
