Dr. Shi's Care Philosophy:
"After listening to my patients' concerns, I work closely with them to generate a plan. Many orthopedic conditions can improve without a single step into the operating room. However, surgery is sometimes the only reasonable option. When that time comes, as an orthopedic surgeon, I do strive to use cutting edge technology and innovative techniques that are backed by evidence to meet the needs of my patients. I work closely with my team aspiring to provide patients with a unique, seamless experience in orthopedic care at every opportunity."
