There is a great deal of confusion in the community about what constitutes real advances in Orthopaedic Care and what amounts to a passing fad or "strategic marketing." It is my wish to provide up to date scientific evidence to support the treatments I provide, not just to create a niche market for my services. If I can suggest the use of computer assistance or minimally invasive language in my practice, it is the natural assumption that this is somehow a "better" method of treatment. This can sometimes be the case but often has not been proven to be true, or in some cases has been shown to be very dangerous for the patient. At Savannah Bone & Joint, we are often quoted as saying "there are a lot more things we can do to a patient than for a patient." For this reason, we take our charge to do what is considered best practice very seriously. Your trust is very important to us. No one in Savannah can provide better service and care, guranteed!
