A surgeon your clients — and your case — can rely on.

Treatment for injured patients

Dr. Bastian evaluates and treats extremity injuries across the spectrum: fractures, dislocations, soft-tissue injuries, and tendon and ligament damage from shoulder to hand and knee to ankle. Your client gets genuine surgical expertise; you get a treating physician whose documentation holds up.
