What we see people for
If what is bothering you is not on this list, call the office. The evaluation covers whatever you come in with.
Wear-related knee pain with stiffness in the morning, aching after activity, or swelling that comes and goes - including advanced wear you may have been told is bone on bone. We evaluate the joint and explain what the imaging and exam actually show.
Pain that has persisted through rest, medication, bracing, or physical therapy, and that you would like a specialist opinion on before deciding what comes next.
Catching, locking, or pain along the joint line after a meniscus tear, and tendon-related knee pain from overuse. Evaluated in the office with ultrasound where it helps.
Knee pain following a sports injury, a fall, or a motor-vehicle accident, including cases where you are being asked to decide between treatment options.
How the visit works
You are seen by a physician. We take the history, examine the knee, review any imaging you already have, and tell you what we think is generating the pain.
When an injection is part of the plan, we use ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance so the medication goes where it is meant to go. Options discussed at the visit include corticosteroid injections and hyaluronic acid gel injections (viscosupplementation).
We explain what each step involves, what it costs under your plan, and what the alternatives are. Nothing is scheduled until you have said yes to it.

The practice accepts Medicare. Most other major plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, MagnaCare, Clover and Oscar, are billed using out-of-network benefits, and not all plans are covered - so we verify your benefits at no charge before the visit, and you know where you stand before anything is scheduled.
Before you call
Hyaluronic acid injections, also called viscosupplementation or gel shots, place a lubricating fluid into the knee joint. Whether they are appropriate for you is decided at your evaluation, and coverage varies by plan, and we check it before scheduling.
We are not a surgical practice. We evaluate the knee, explain what we find, and treat what is treatable in the office. If a surgical opinion is the right next step, we will say so directly.
