Patient Education

We treat all our patients with extreme care and realize each individual case is unique in nature. Informed patients make for successful cases. This page will help you have advance copies of the forms we require, provide links to testimonials of other individuals who have experienced similar surgeries using products we recommend, physical therapy links and exercises that may help our patients.

You can download Info & HR forms we have all patients fill out upon their first appointment with our practice. Forms can be filled out prior to attending your appointment and can be printed out at your convenience, but are not required to be. These forms also give patients an example of the information we will be requesting in addition to contact and insurance information.
