ORTHOPAEDIC & SPORTS INJURIES

Claire enjoys treating a variety of issues, including acute sports injuries, everyday aches and pains to post operative rehab. Whether it happened on the field, the ski hill, the trail or just in front of the desk, Claire enjoys treating all types of orthopaedic injuries.

​

Claire recently underwent ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair and has first hand experience in the surgical management of this awful injury. In 2010, Claire conservatively managed an ACL tear on the other knee, so has gained valuable perspective on how every knee injury is different and can talk your ear off on your best options for ACL tears.
