Please bring your referral from your primary care physician when you visit us or we may have to reschedule your appointment.

MRI
I loved Dr Cambria - he was sincere and made me feel very comfortable, he didn't have that clinical bedside manner, he was very personable. He explained all possibilities of what my diagnosis could be and avenues he'd take to avoid surgery or MRI. He reviewed my X-Rays with me and made sure I thoroughly understood my issue. Joanne his assistant and X-Ray technician was very nice and too explained and made me feel comfortable in getting my cortisone shot - she was very personable - I am extremely satisfied with my office visit and so glad Dr Dey recommended me to go there.

Knee Replacement
Due to the complexity of the joint, knee replacement surgery requires precision. This is especially true when it comes to creating a replacement joint that is the exact same size and shape as the original. Precision is also important for properly positioning the implant. Precise measurement tools allow surgeons to plan and perform a knee replacement in ways that will improve a patient’s range of motion, stability, and joint function.
