Vision Statement

Clinical care of shoulder problems can only be improved if critical introspection is married to the desire to educate. One must be willing to risk criticism and accept reinvention of one’s approaches. Our vision is thus, to continually improve through critical review of treatment outcomes, new scientific information, and patient experiences. We will employ a patient-centric approach and create the preeminent center for management of shoulder problems.

Strategy

We will achieve our goals through innovative use of technology and techniques for education and critical assessment of patient treatment outcomes.
