Orthopaedic Trauma & Fracture Specialists Mission:
Our mission is to provide the high quality, patient focused care to trauma patients with compassion and state of the art technology from the time of injury to the point of maximum post-injury function.
Orthopaedic Trauma & Fracture Specialists (OTFS) specializes in treating a wide range of routine and complex orthopaedic problems.
We emphasize specialty care and aim to serve our patients above the community standard. Orthopaedic injuries with subsequent short term and/or long term disability can have a dramatic life impact.
Our goal is to use all available resources to return each patient to their pre-injury function. We believe in a multidisciplinary approach utilizing expert resources in areas of orthotics/prosthetics, physical/occupational therapy, subspecialist physicians, nutrition, etc.
A special emphasis is placed on education and patient participation in the recovery phase to empower each individual to achieve the best outcome possible.
