Orthopedic surgeons are skilled at both surgical and non-surgical techniques for evaluating and treating conditions of the musculoskeletal (bones) system.
Board-certified and specialty-trained orthopedic surgeons practice at Sentara facilities. This means that physicians have met the specific educational, evaluation and examination testing of The American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery.
Tips for finding an orthopedic surgeon
- Check to make sure your surgeon is board-certified.
- Ask your surgeon if they have any specialty areas of care that relate to your concern.
Physicians choose the facilities where they practice. Be sure to ask where your surgeon operates so you will be able to have any surgeries performed at the hospital/outpatient center you want to go to.
