General Orthopedic & Trauma Surgery

Expert Care for Broken Bones, Joint Injuries, and Soft Tissue Trauma

Not every injury requires joint replacement — many patients experience sudden orthopedic trauma, such as a fall, sports injury, or accident, that results in a fracture, ligament tear, or other damage to the bones and soft tissues. Whether you’ve fractured a bone or torn a tendon, Dr. Armin Arshi provides experienced, timely care to help you heal properly and return to your daily activities as safely and quickly as possible.

Dr. Arshi is a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon who treats a wide range of community-level orthopedic injuries, offering both non-surgical and surgical options tailored to each patient’s needs, goals, and lifestyle. When appropriate, Dr. Arshi will also refer patients to a fellow sub-specialist to ensure they receive the most appropriate and advanced care for complex or highly specialized conditions.

General Orthopedic & Trauma Surgery: Frequently Asked Questions
