Myron J. Szczukowski, Jr., MD
“I am committed to stay on the cutting edge of training and technology. Over 20 years of experience in the treatment of musculoskeletal disease and injury has given me a wide range of experience in surgical and non-surgical treatments. My patients have chosen to entrust me to improve their quality of life. Coping with osteoarthritis and making a decision about a joint replacement is difficult. My goal is to reduce my patient’s fears, pain and restore their mobility.”
