Specialties
-
Orthopedic Surgery
Being an orthopedic surgeon in California, Dr. Forster is qualified to treat and diagnose all forms of damage to the musculoskeletal system, such as the bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and joints. Following a diagnosis, Dr. Forster will typically prescribe surgery when less-invasive treatments have failed to produce the desired results or have been ruled out. Patients might need the care and attention of an orthopedic surgeon for sports injuries, sprains, torn ligaments, fractures, and more.
-
Hand Surgery
A hand surgeon in California, Dr. Forster cares for injuries and complications of the hand, fingers, wrist, forearm, elbow and shoulder. Dr. Forster is specifically trained to diagnose each patient and determine whether or not surgical intervention is medically necessary, as surgery is usually seen as a last resort when other treatment methods have been exhausted. As a result, treatment can be surgical or non-surgical in nature.
