Excited to share our newest research publication examining the effects of GLP-1 medications on bone healing after midfoot fusion surgery.

The results are reassuring: preoperative GLP-1 use was not associated with increased risk of nonunion or other major complications, supporting their continued use in appropriately selected patients.

Proud to advance the science of foot and ankle surgery and improve outcomes for patients in Las Vegas and beyond.

I perform minimally invasive bunion surgery every week. Using Arthrex MIS, we correct the deformity through tiny incisions instead of traditional open surgery. Patients typically walk sooner, heal faster, and get back to life quicker.

Patient testimonial: Joanne’s experience and recovery with the Arthrex Bunionectomy were totally different than her disappointing bunion surgery in the 1990s.

I’m often asked to recommend a great hand specialist, so I’m excited to share that we’ve just hired a new one.

Excited to welcome Dr. Amesur to Desert Orthopaedic Center as our new hand and elbow specialist. I highly recommend him, and yes, I had a hand in training and hiring him. No pun intended. As Program Director of Orthopedics at Valley Hospital Medical Center, I’ve had the privilege of helping train outstanding surgeons like Dr. Amesur, and we’re thrilled to have him join our team.
