General Practitioners

• Arthritis
• Pediatric Care
• Family Practice
  Sports medicine is not a medical specialty in itself. Most sports medicine doctors are certified in internal medicine, emergency medicine, family medicine, orthopedics, or another specialty and then acquire additional training with a 2-year fellowship in sports medicine to be certified as a sports medicine specialist.

Internists

• Internal Medicine

Neurologists

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  Median nerve: The median nerve crosses the wrist through a tunnel called the carpal tunnel. The median nerve provides sensation to the palm, thumb, index finger, middle finger and part of the ring finger.

Radiologist

• MRI
  To diagnose the problem, your doctor will review your medical history and details of the accident along with performing a thorough physical examination to check for tenderness, inflammation, pain, range of motion, and weight-bearing ability. Further, imaging tests such as X-rays, CT and MRI scans will be ordered to confirm the diagnosis.
• Radiology
• X-Rays
• Computed Tomography
  ConforMIS® has developed personalized knee resurfacing implants with unique advantages against traditional knee replacement options. To design a personalized implant for every individual, the surgeon will perform the CT scan of the affected knee of the patient. A 3D image of a patient’s knee is created from CT scans and an implant is designed to conform exactly to individual size and shape.

Surgeons

• General Surgery
  Dr. Cecil obtained his B.A. from Yale and M.D. from Cornell where he was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha the honor medical society. He subsequently obtained a Ph.D. from Cornell in Bone Pathology. He served as an intern and resident in general surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts before completing the Harvard Combined Residency in Orthopedic Surgery.
• Orthopedics
  Pediatric orthopedics is a branch of medicine which provides surgical and non-surgical treatment for conditions affecting children and devoted to treating children's joints, muscles, and bones.
• Arthroscopy
  Arthroscopy: This is a minimally invasive surgery where a flexible fiberoptic tube with a high-intensity light and camera attached at the end, called an arthroscope, is used to view the affected joint and guide miniature instruments to remove fragments of torn ligament, bone, or cartilage from within the joint.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery
  Dr. Ortiz obtained his Bachelor of Science at Cornell University in Ithaca where he was named a Presidential Scholar. He subsequently obtained his Medical Degree at Cornell University Medical Center in New York City. He served his Internship and Residency at the The L.A. County USC Medical Center in Los Angeles where he was also chosen to perform a prestigious Sports Medicine Fellowship at the Kerlan Jobe Orthopedic Clinic under the guidance of Dr. Frank Jobe. After completing his fellowship, he moved to Amsterdam and joined Dr. Cecil at Mohawk Valley Orthopedics, P.C.. He is Board Certified and a member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, the New York State Society of Orthopedic Surgeons, the American Medical Association, the Medical Society of the State of New York, the Montgomery County Medical Society and the Arthroscopy Association of North America, a select group of orthopedic surgeons specially trained in minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery. He is currently an Assistant Clinical Professor at Albany Medical College. His practice is focused on arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery of the shoulder, elbow, knee and ankle as well as pediatric and foot/ankle disorders.
• Joint Replacement
  Joint replacement: This involves the surgical reconstruction and replacement of damaged joints, using artificial body parts, or prosthetics.
• Hand Surgery
• Orthopedic Surgery
  Surgery performed to treat orthopedic conditions in children and adolescents is called pediatric orthopedic surgery. Orthopedic problems in children are different from that of adults as the bones in children are constantly growing and are bendable until a certain age. Moreover, young children may not be able to express the symptoms associated with bone or joint conditions to their physicians. Hence, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon may be needed to diagnose and address these issues in children.
• Arthroscopy
• Hip Replacement
• Knee Replacement
  In traditional knee replacement surgery, the surgeon selects an "off-the-shelf" implant from a range of standard fixed sizes, and then has to make the necessary adjustments to fit the implant to the patient during the procedure. Because these off-the-shelf knee replacements aren’t designed to your specific anatomy, surgeons have to compromise on implant fit. This compromise may result in having implant overhang (implant hangs over the bone) or underhang (the implant is too small, leaving the bone exposed and uncovered). It could also result in an implant that isn’t aligned properly.

Physical Therapists

• Sports Medicine
  Sports Medicine, also known as sports and exercise medicine (SEM), is a branch of medicine that deals with the treatment and prevention of sports and exercise-related injuries and improving fitness and performance. The main objective of sports medicine is to help individuals engage in sports and exercise in a safe and effective manner to accomplish their training goals.
• Physical Therapy
  Try to begin physical therapy a day or two after the surgery. Exercises in the first week are usually aimed at regaining joint motion. Strengthening exercises are initiated later. Regular exercises are critical for a successful outcome.
• Tennis Elbow

Podiatrists

• Podiatric Surgery
