Along with the treatment of immediate or chronic problems, we strive to integrate the doctrine of prevention in all our treatment plans as a way to alleviate possible future difficulties. An internationally recognized expert on Total Joint Replacement, Dr.Brooker brings decades of experience and cutting edge technology to all aspects of patient care.
Surgery is but one option for bone and joint problems and depending on your diagnosis, the use of medication, injections, braces, casts, or physical therapy may be used to treat your condition before surgery is considered.
Just as no two people are exactly the same, no two problems or injuries are alike either. For this reason x-rays or other tests may be conducted before treatment begins. Your condition and personal needs serve as a guide in choosing methods of treatment that are right for you.
Often clues to people's ailments are discovered just by listening, so we need to hear your questions and concerns. Ask anything, there are NO frivolous questions. Experience has shown when you take active part in your own diagnosis and treatment you get well faster.
Selecting a Physician
To receive the best care possible select a doctor who is board certified, well trained, experienced and with whom you trust and feel comfortable. Unless you are in an HMO you do not need a referral and are free to choose any physician you desire. Even when you go to the emergency room you may request any Physician as you are not bound to see the Specialist on call for that day.
