Did you know you can get scans done while standing? 👀

At DOC, our certified HiRise Weight-Bearing CT scanner provides a more accurate look at your joints and bones the way they actually function - under your body weight. That means better insight for diagnosing and treatment planning.

Visit our website to learn more about how this tech works and how it helps us level up your care to get you better results.

What’s better than one Dr. Winder? A whole bunch!

Clarity in Care | “Dr. Miao was very friendly, personable, and took the time to explain my X-ray and MRI results in great detail. I was able to easily understand his explanation and his confidence in addressing my injury was very comforting. He truly cared about me and my recovery.”

Flexor tendon injuries can make everyday movements surprisingly difficult. These tendons allow you to bend your fingers and grip, so when they’re damaged, you might notice pain in the palm, trouble bending a finger, a snapping sensation during the injury, or even numbness in the fingertip.

Even if the symptoms seem mild at first, flexor tendon injuries often require timely medical care to heal properly. Early evaluation can prevent long-term stiffness or loss of motion and help you get back to normal function faster.

If something doesn’t feel right, don’t wait to have it checked. Call us today to schedule an appointment.

Experience That Heals | “I went 20 years without having anything done on my very bad knees due to my fear of surgery. It cost me in the long run; it shot out my left hip, and I had to have a total hip replacement. I had several people recommend Dr. Hanson, people I know and trust. I decided it was time to have my knees replaced by Dr. Hanson, and it was a great decision! Dr. Hanson and his team did a great job repairing my totally destroyed left knee. The aftercare has been very helpful, and I would never have had my knee surgery if not for the trust in Dr. Hanson. When I complete my physical therapy, I will get my other knee replacement as long as it is Dr. Hanson! –James R.
