• Most of the patients that come to see me are asking whether or not they are ready for surgery. It’s kind of a big decision. It is a life changing decision because they’re about to part with their hip or their knee and take on an artificial joint.

  I was a patient when I was younger with my shoulder, and I needed an operation to get me back to playing sports. And so I look at patients now as people who want to get back to — whether it be golf or just walking or whatever it is. And I think back when I was a patient and kind of put myself in their shoes and try to get them back to the function that I know that I wanted when I was younger and I know that they want now.
