Is Your SPECIALIST… REALLY A SPECIALIST?
Hip fractures from osteoporosis kill more women than breast cancer -- a fact that few people know. With the right treatment, however, osteoporosis is preventable and treatable. Dr. Claudia L. Thomas, a fellowship-trained Orthopaedic surgeon, applies leading-edge research to help patients reduce bone loss and fracture risks. After completing a fellowship in Orthopaedic Trauma and Spine Surgery with the University of Maryland Shock Trauma, Dr. Thomas served as the director of the Fracture Clinic at the renowned Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Her specialties include non-surgical approaches to back pain and prevention of future injuries due to osteoporosis. Relieving your pain is her top priority.
If you are a post-menopausal woman, a man over 50, or had a parent who broke a hip, you may be at higher risk for osteoporosis. Call today for an appointment. EXPERTISE MATTERS.
