Each patient has their own journey, and I aim to help you decide the best option to reclaim your quality of life.
Options to preserve your hip may include nonoperative measures (I.e., physical therapy or injections), or surgical options (hip arthroscopy for labral tears, core decompression.)
Options to preserve your knee may include nonoperative measures (I.e., physical therapy or injections), or surgical options (ACL reconstruction, or meniscus or cartilage surgery).
Personalized approach to joint replacement restore prearthiritic anatomy including muscle sparing anterior approach total hip replacement and kinematically aligned total knee replacements.

"Dr. Shelton completely changed my life and my outlook on life after injury with his knowledge of orthopedics, modern medical technology and his confidence. I cannot say enough great things about him. When Dr. Shelton told me I needed a replacement I did not believe him and believed him even less when he told me with total confidence that I would be right back to doing what I enjoy the most. He understood my feelings of shock and disbelief and was empathetic to it all which in turn was the best approach. He answered any and all questions…in fact answering the same question multiple times without any reservations. Everything about the surgery was exceptional and follow-up has been very informative and open to dialogue. Only thing I would change in my experience is I would have done this much sooner had I known how amazing Dr Shelton in all aspects of my process."
"I’m forever indebted to Dr. Shelton and his team! After recovering from both of my surgeries I am finally able to fully function and return to living my life as a normal 25 year old free of the pain I’ve been experiencing for years. I highly recommend not wasting time with other Doctors like I did and just seeing Dr. Shelton- he skips the bandaids and gets right to the root problem! He sets the gold standard of the type of care that should be given across all providers and what healthcare should look like for every single patient. I can’t recommend him enough!"
