about VOS
about VOS
Getting hurt is painful enough. Our practice is
dedicated to treating you with the highest of care. Our
highly-trained staff makes a special effort to ensure
that your office and surgery experience are as
pleasant as possible. VOS has on-site X-Ray imaging to
simplify and expedite your care, and our physical and
occupational therapists are ready to assist in your
pre- and post-operative rehabilitation needs.
Orthopaedic Surgery is the branch of medicine that
deals in all facets of evaluation, treatment and
prevention of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions.
We work on treating musculoskeletal problems
resulting from birth, abnormal development, overuse
or injury. Although we are trained as orthopedic
surgeons most of the conditions we treat can be
helped without surgical intervention. We offer onsite
diagnostic x-rays, physical therapy, injections, casting
and bracing services.
