Our new orthopedic center was built with you in mind. It offers the latest technology and a coordinated care approach to treat your pain. This means that on the day of your appointment, you can be seen by more than one doctor if needed and may be able to have all your tests done that same day (depending on your insurance coverage). When you leave, you will have a diagnosis and treatment plan designed to restore function and comfort.
If you have a more complicated issue, the entire team will determine a treatment plan that will result in the best outcome possible.

Tammy’s pain started over 10 years ago when she slipped on the ice walking to her car after work. She suffered a fractured tailbone which led to debilitating chronic back and leg pain.
Fortunately, Dr. Andrew Porter recommended a temporary trial of HF10. The results were remarkable - She slept through the night, and she reported nearly 100% pain relief! Dr. Porter and Tammy decided to go forward with the implant.
“I am so happy - I have been telling all of my friends about HF10!”
Tammy has been back to baking pumpkin rolls for her local community and is ecstatic about it! She is even excited about being able to do the dishes after baking because it is such a positive change.
