WHERE MODERN MEDICINE MEETS OLD-FASHIONED CARE

Orthopedic injuries and illnesses are among the most common and aggravating complaints from childhood into adulthood. Sports injuries, degenerative or inflammatory arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis - all can cause patients great pain and discomfort, while severely limiting their activities.

Orthopedic surgeon Catherine Jasan offers a new approach to orthopedic care. Knowing that the majority of general orthopedic problems are best treated without surgery, she has established Mill Valley Orthopedic Clinic to provide a broad continuum of non-surgical care for both chronic and acute conditions of the musculoskeletal system.

With a special focus on education, preventative care, and physical therapy, Dr. Jasan takes the time to get to know her patients and to understand their unique health needs and goals. Then, working closely with each patient, she creates a comprehensive treatment plan designed to address the orthopedic problem and increase the patient's activity level and well-being. Should patients require another consultation or surgery, Dr. Jasan continues to follow them closely, offering ongoing support and advice.

TREATMENT PLANS

The Mill Valley Orthopedic Clinic offers general clinical orthopedic care, as well as second opinions and consultations regarding diagnosis, long- and short-term care plans, rehabilitation programs, and surgical decisions.

Treatment and follow-up of fractures of the upper and lower extremities.

Treatment and rehabilitation for sprains and tears of ligaments, tendons, and muscles.

Rehabilitation programs for sports-related injuries.

Treatment and rehabilitation exercises for chronic injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome and impingement syndrome of the shoulder.

Treatment and follow-up of degenerative or inflammatory arthritic conditions, providing education, medical and rehabilitation treatment, injections, and surgical advice.

A doctor with time to listen

Dr. Jasan schedules each new consultation to provide ample time for a thorough work-up and examination. She gets to know each patient individually, answering as many questions and concerns as the patient may have. The patient's overall physical health status and lifestyle are carefully reviewed with the patient before recommending and designing a course of action.

A native of Minnesota, Dr. Catherine Jasan received her Bachelor of Science in biochemistry and chemical engineering and her Doctor of Medicine degree, with honors, from the University of Minnesota. She completed both her internship in general surgery and residency in orthopedic surgery at Stanford University Medical Center. After her chief resident year at Stanford, she joined the orthopedic surgery department with the Permanente Medical Group at Santa Teresa Hospital in San Jose, where she practiced for six years.

She opened Mill Valley Orthopedic Clinic in September 2003.
