With healthcare’s shift from individual service to big business, many people miss the
personal experience they once had with their physician. That very experience is what
sets Port City Orthopaedics apart from most doctor’s offices today. Derrick fuses the
best of both worlds — state of the art care combined with the one-on-one interaction
that patients
want with their doctor. “I believe the relationship between doctor and the
patient always takes priority,” Derrick says. “I want to be with them every step of the way.”
There are no physician extenders at Port City Orthopaedics. Patients are seen by their
physician at each and every visit, and are able to get same or next day appointments
with a board certified orthopaedist who oversees every aspect of their care. Specializing
in general orthopaedics, sports medicine, and the hand and upper extremity, Derrick is
trained in cosmetic rejuvenation and minimally invasive surgery for “scarless” or “minimal
scar” procedures. “The results of these treatments are simply beautiful,” he says.
