Care Philosophy: My goal at the Jaglowski Orthopedic Institute is to offer you the type of care and medical treatment that I would hope to have for myself or my loved ones. I understand that each patient and condition is unique and I strive to offer personalized care. My hope is that every patient gains a complete understanding of their condition, has all their questions answered thoroughly, and is comfortable with the treatment plan and follow up moving forward. My staff and I also hope to make the process as easy and convenient as possible. I care greatly about minimizing your wait time and reducing all the inconveniences that come with healthcare. I want our visit to be a casual conversation among friends, rather than a stuffy doctors visit. I have always felt that getting to know may patients personally has allowed me to offer superior care. I understand that you have several choices when it comes to your medical care and I am sincerely grateful when you choose us to be a part of your life.

Care Philosophy: I treat patients how I would like to be treated. Every patient that comes to our office is there for a reason: pain, loss of function, inability to play with their kids, inability to play their sport, among hundreds of others. Everyone is different and every patient encounter I have recognizes this. Many clinicians have lost the ability to talk to or examine patients and rely exclusively on an X-ray or MRI. I treat patients, not MRI's. Patients expect us to make a correct and timely diagnosis, provide both non-surgical and surgical treatment options, and discuss the expected outcomes of both. In my office, I not only use the best evidence-based medicine to treat patients, but I also write that literature, publishing and presenting from across the street to across the world. I use that evidence to make sure that every single patient gets the absolute best care possible whenever they step in the clinic or the operating room.
