“I had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Comer, and am very much so appreciative for the exceptional care I received. Dr. Comer is a wonderful surgeon that demonstrated great skill and compassion through his care. He was very detailed and thorough in explaining everything to me throughout the whole process. The surgery went smoothly and the post-op care was excellent as well. 10/10 would recommend!”

“I had a really really bad fracture on my wrist! Every doctor nurse looked at my X rays were saying it. My wrist was fractured from multiple locations. Dr. Dowd did an amazing surgery. It is back to how it was. I have no limitation on movement. No pain, no arthritis, no limit on bending, turning nothing. He's a great doctor.”

“Dr. Butler is amazing. I broke my wrist in two places snowboarding and saw him shortly after the fracture. He was patient, discussed surgery vs. non-surgery options, didn't pressure me into one or the other. I opted for a cast and it's been healing very smoothly. He squeezed me in early last week so that I could see my own patients that day. He has been kind, knowledgeable, professional, and warm. I feel grateful to have him as my orthopedist.” -

Because joints are in constant use, they often wear out over time due to overuse or aging. Joint reconstruction or replacement may be required to relieve the resulting pain and restore function. Most joints in the body, including the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, hips, knees, ankles and feet, are synovial, permitting movement and articulation. When these joints suffer traumatic injury, or when the cartilage that normally protects them wears away, surgical repair or replacement may be necessary.

Orthopedic surgeons may perform a shoulder arthroscopy to diagnose and treat several different conditions of the shoulder. With this type of procedure, patients benefit from less tissue damage, shorter recovery times, less scarring and less post-operative pain than traditional open procedures.
Elbow arthroscopy is generally used for simple manipulations of the joint, such as fracture care, debridement and removal of bone fragments. It is also commonly used to confirm and examine abnormalities of the joint to provide a proper diagnosis of any elbow conditions.
Our foot and ankle orthopaedic surgeons are fellowship-trained experts who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of foot and ankle ailments.

Your evaluation will start with a detailed clinic visit to understand your own unique experience with back pain.
The rotator cuff is the thick band of muscles and associated tendons that cover the top of the upper arm and hold in it place, providing support and stability to the shoulder joint. The rotator cuff also allows for a full range of motion while keeping the ball of the arm bone in the shoulder socket. These tendons can become partially or completely torn as a result of a rotator cuff tear or injury. A rotator cuff tear often occurs as a result of injury or overuse of the muscles over a long period of time.
Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions affecting the hip joint. This procedure can be used to confirm the diagnosis of various imaging procedures, such as X-rays and MRIs, as it provides a three-dimensional, real-time image of the affected area. If damage or abnormalities are detected during the arthroscopy, repairs can often be made during the same procedure.
