MEET YOUR SURGEON!

Dr. Gregory Drake is dual fellowship trained in shoulder and elbow surgery and adult spinal reconstructive surgery. He completed his spinal reconstructive fellowship through Michigan Spine and Brain Surgeons, where he completed over three hundred and fifty major spine surgeries. Deeply committed to the welfare of his patients, he specializes in minimally invasive treatment options and believes in a conservative, minimalistic approach to surgery. He has been trained in treating the complete spine, including the cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions.

Dr. Drake’s second fellowship was performed under the tutelage of world-renowned surgeons Dr. Gary Gartsman and Dr. T. Bradley Edwards at Fondren Orthopedic Group. Rotator cuff repair, shoulder instability, distal clavicle resection and labral repairs are all performed through small incisions and the use of a small camera. Shoulder replacement surgery includes the standard replacement for those with arthritis, as well as the reverse total shoulder in those whose rotator cuff is deficient.

Other surgical procedures he performs on the shoulder include tendon transfers, arthroscopic suprascapular nerve releases, Latarjet coracoid transfers for shoulder dislocations, and resurfacing procedures. Dr. Drake is a recipient of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon’s prestigious Neer Award. This award recognizes leading surgeons who are advancing techniques used worldwide.

Winter can be tough on your joints. Colder weather lowers air pressure, which can increase pressure inside your joints and lead to more pain.

Happy Physician Anesthesiologists Week!

We are joining the American Society of Anesthesiologists in recognizing our highly skilled physician anesthesiologists this week.

Our physician anesthesiologists are highly trained medical experts who evaluate, monitor, and supervise patients before, during, and after surgery. Physician anesthesiologists are medical doctors just like your primary care physician and surgeon. They specialize in anesthesia care, pain management and critical care medicine, and have the necessary knowledge to understand and treat the entire human body. Physician anesthesiologists have 12 to 14 years of education, including medical school, and 12,000 to 16,000 hours of clinical training. They have the specific medical education and training to make critical decisions when seconds count. Patient safety and quality of care matter most.

On behalf of the Geneva Surgical Team, thank you for everything you do that contributes to our outstanding patient experience and positive outcomes!

During the winter, a quick walk can easily turn into an injury. When braving the cold, try to take shorter steps and keep your hands out of your pockets to help with balance. https://bit.ly/3LdUwCa
