PERSONALIZED CARE WITH THE FOCUS ON YOU
Orthopedic Surgery
General orthopedics is the medical specialty that focuses on injuries and diseases of the body’s musculoskeletal system, this complex system includes your bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves and allows you to move, work and have an active lifestyle.
Sports Medicine
Sports Medicine is a branch of medicine that deals with physical fitness and the treatment and preventions of injuries related to sports and exercise. Arthroscopic surgery is often used in the treatment of sports related joint issues.
Joint Reconstruction
Reconstructive joint surgery is performed to restore normal mechanics and stability for the purpose of regaining normal function following injury. Joint reconstruction can be preformed using arthroscopic and/or open techniques.
Interventional Spine
Interventional spine is a subspecialty of orthopedics and pain management devoted to the treatment of spinal pathology with the use of minimally invasive techniques performed on an outpatient basis with accelerated recovery and minimal downtime for the treatment of painful spine conditions.
Fractures
A fracture is a broken bone often caused by trauma. It can range from a thin crack to a displaced fracture. Fractures can be treated with immobilizations for minimally displaced fractures. Surgery is often necessary to treat displaced or unstable fractures.
Physical Therapy
Following injury and/or surgery, physical therapy is often a necessary and important way to reduce swelling and inflammation and restore strength, motion and normal function to an injured area.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
Posted on jodie gentile4. March, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Dr. Isaac Lee highly enough. After more than 10 years of chronic pelvic pain and seeing multiple specialists, he was the first physician to truly listen, think outside the box, and identify a treatment option that no one else had suggested — a pudendal nerve block. His knowledge, thoroughness, and willingness to explore the root cause of my pain made all the difference. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel heard and supported throughout the process. As a new physician in the practice, he is an incredible asset. If you are struggling with pelvic pain or feel like you’ve run out of options, I strongly encourage you to see him. I am beyond grateful for his care.Posted on Elena Maldonado Jackson4.

Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable and really helped to ease my anxiety about my injury/pain, testing and follow up care. Would definitely recommend!Posted on Michelle Hagel3.

From the moment I walked in, the entire staff was professional, organized, and genuinely welcoming. The office runs efficiently, appointments are on time, and you can tell patient care is truly their priority. A special thank you to one of their nurses, Victoria, who was absolutely incredible. She is not only knowledgeable and professional, but also so caring and compassionate. She took the time to listen, answered every question thoroughly, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire visit. Her warmth and attention to detail truly made all the difference. It’s rare to find a medical office that combines expertise with such genuine kindness. I highly recommend this practice to anyone in need of orthopedic care!Posted on Madeline Kerber2.
