Questions Patients Ask Before Choosing Us
What types of conditions do your surgeons treat?
Our physicians treat injuries and conditions of the shoulder, elbow, hand, wrist, hip, knee, foot, ankle, neck, and spine. This includes arthritis, fractures, tendon and ligament injuries, nerve compression, and sports injuries.
Do you only treat athletes?
No. Many of our patients are athletes, but we also care for weekend warriors, active adults, workers with overuse injuries, and people with joint pain from arthritis or age. Our surgeons treat patients from pediatric through geriatric age groups, depending on the physician.
Will I need surgery?
Not necessarily. We consider non-operative options first when they are appropriate, including non-operative procedures, physical therapy, and shockwave therapy. If surgery is the best option, your surgeon will explain why and what to expect.
Which doctor should I see for a hand or wrist problem?
Dr. Robert Coats specializes in the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, arm, and shoulder. You can learn more about this care on our hand and upper extremity page.
