We are unique in the community, as we're the only completely sub-specialized and fellowship-trained Orthopaedic practice in Delaware. When choosing an Orthopaedic surgeon, looking for one who specializes in the problem that you are experiencing is important. It should be a key factor in your decision making. At Delaware Orthopaedic Specialists, we are focused on a higher level of sub-specialty Orthopaedic care. Our philosophy is simple - practice only in the field you specialize in. Unlike general orthopaedic surgeons who do a little bit of everything, our specialists do a lot of one particular thing. Only practicing in their specialized fields allows our physicians to perform a higher volume of surgery within their specialty. Many studies have proven that physicians with larger volumes in a particular specialty have better results. There is no reason to trust your healthcare to anyone other than a SPECIALIST.
