Jim Michelson, MD, Orthopedic Surgeon

Description

As simple as it sounds, I genuinely enjoy taking care of my patients. Most people come to me with pain or difficulty using their foot or ankle, and helping them get back to a more normal, active life is what keeps me motivated every day.Everyone's situation is different — whether it’s the nature of the problem or their personal goals and expectations. My role is primarily one of education: helping patients understand why their foot or ankle hurts and walking them through the options for feeling better.While I do enjoy performing surgery when it’s needed, I’m just as satisfied finding a non-surgical solution that works. My focus is always on what’s best for each individual.
