Orthopedic Specialties
Dr. Chams and his team will review your shoulder symptoms and typically recommend a conservative nonsurgical option. In the case where a surgical option is needed, the team will guide you through what to expect, how to prepare, and how to recover.
As with any shoulder condition, knee conditions and injuries are diagnosed and treated by a team of specialists. Our goal is to alleviate your knee pain and restore maximum strength and function, with the least amount of recovery time possible.

What My Patients Are Saying
“Having had successful rotator cuff surgery with Dr. Chams, there was no question who I wanted to see when I tore my ACL. Given my age at 74 many orthopedic doctors might have hesitated to do the surgery; however, Dr. Chams did not. He understood the active lifestyle I lead and the negative impact this would have on me if I couldn’t continue. Having had the knee surgery I am back to playing tennis and skiing. I am grateful he did not write me off and appreciate his outstanding orthopedic skills. He is the go to guy for shoulders and knees. I cannot recommend him enough.”
