Dr. Jonathan Hersch is a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon located in Boca Raton, Florida, who specializes in arthroscopic surgery and joint preservation.
Although Dr. Hersch is a surgeon, he really views himself as more of a healer.
“I want my patients to truly understand that I have their best interests at heart and that any recommendation for treatment that I make is centered around their individual circumstances,” he said.
The purpose of shoulder replacement surgery is to remove damaged areas of bone and replace them with surgical implants.
Joint preservation techniques can be either surgical or non-surgical and focus on alleviating the pain and delaying the need for joint replacement.
In addition, Dr. Hersch performs several different advanced procedures that are designed to get his patients back to living their active lives without surgery.
“My job is to help my patients get better, with or without surgery,” says Dr. Hersch. “I get many patients who have fairly complex problems who have been told they will just have to learn to live with the pain, and that’s not right. There is almost always something that can be done – I don’t give up on my patients.”
