Over the past 30 years, Dr. Szalapski has always done what’s best for the patient. He is focused on explaining the benefits and risks to each patient and enjoys educating them to avoid surgery which may be unnecessary or unsuccessful. He works directly with the patient to customize an approach that is best suited for the patient and specific to their individual goals. He studied at the University of Minnesota, graduating with Honors and continued his orthopedic training at Harvard University. Insurance reminder: individual plans may vary, and it is the patient’s responsibility to confirm that their provider is in-network.
