Message 09998029879 or 9952687849. Appointments by request. For those who have previous images (XRay, ultrasound, CT Scan, MRI) please bring CD, print, or film images on your consult, not just the paper result. For those who have laboratory results, please bring the reports. Please wear comfortable clothes for consult. Wear shorts for lower extremity problems. Avoid wearing tight jeans. Common problems we see in the clinic will be stiff neck and low back pain. Joint pains, whether shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, hips, knees, ankles, and feet. Rayuma is the local term given to arthritis. There are many types of arthritis, each requiring specific kinds of treatments. To emphasize: arthritis can be due to aging as all of us do age, it can be rheumatoid, ankylosing, gout, and many more. Orthopedic surgeons treat such conditions, not necessarily through surgery but perhaps medicine and physical therapy. We perform hip arthroplasty (replacement) and we also perform knee arthroplasty (replacement). We are fellowship trained for joint replacement. Fracture care is the main focus of the practice, all sorts of bone conditions like sprains, strains, or "alay". Trigger fingers, trigger thumbs, de Quervain''s, carpal tunnel, painful finger movement are very irritating to deal with but respond well to treatment. "Sakang", "bowed knees" are common deformities that we can assess and help you find solutions to. Some patients request for injections into their joints. Weakness, inability to walk, paralysis, “buktot or kuba” … we see in the clinic. Online consultation requests are for follow up patients, not for first time patients.
