The orthopaedic practice works closely with St. Lawrence Health's podiatrists to provide patients with high-quality podiatric care. To schedule a podiatric appointment, please call (315) 274-9790.
Our sports medicine team specializes in helping patients return to an active life as quickly as possible. While we work with athletes, as our specialty suggests, we also treat a wide variety of patients of all ages and athletic abilities.

We always keep our patients’ lifestyle goals in mind as we work to restore your function and mobility and get you on your feet as soon as possible.
Physiatry, also called physical medicine and rehabilitation, is a branch of medicine focused on restoring functionality to people with disabilities and/or injuries related to the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Our physiatrist works closely with the orthopaedic practices and collaborates with our physical therapy providers to ensure patients receive comprehensive rehabilitation services.
