Care Philosophy: Dr.Raj Yalamanchili prefers an individualized approach to all patients as each patient is unique and deserves tailored treatment. He customizes his office visits to address the specific needs and concerns of individual patients in a relaxed atmosphere. He was drawn to orthopedic surgery as a career because he felt this profession would allow him to help his patients immediately with both operative and non-operative solutions. Specializing in joint replacement and preservation enables him to offer treatment that brings them pain relief, the ability to return to their daily activities, and to resume hobbies that they have not been able to do for months or even years. Surgery is used as a last resort after PT, injections and braces.

Care Philosophy: I believe that the purpose of an orthopedic surgeon is to help patients return to the meaningful activities in their life. As a shoulder, elbow and sports medicine specialist, my goal is to educate patients on their injury, guide them through the decision-making process and treat every person with an individualized plan.
