Dr. Hayden, with his conservative yet comprehensive approach to patient care, works to make the patient feel comfortable right from the first appointment. Well organized in his approach towards surgery, Dr. Hayden has handled a number of joint, sports, trauma, and spine surgeries skillfully. His treatment plan is prepared based on the individual’s specific needs and life situation, along with all available options for therapy. Dr. Hayden’s reparative medicine and minimally invasive in-office solutions are often alternatives to surgery.

Unlike many orthopedic surgeons today, Dr. Hayden believes patients benefit from personalized care. Other practices have made it increasingly difficult to see their physicians by requiring new patients to see any number of assistants first. Dr. Hayden believes in a close physician-patient relationship from the moment you walk through the door. He provides a personal talk with every patient and performs a thorough clinical examination himself. When you visit Dr. Hayden, rest assured that you will receive a uniquely personalized approach to your orthopedic treatment

Dr. Hayden utilizes many advanced in-office diagnostic techniques and technologies. Our ultrasound machine provides a noninvasive way to look for damage to the inside of your joints. The orthopedic surgeon also uses the Mi Eye 2. This is a small minimally invasive camera that can capture live videos of the interiors of several joints in the comforts of the office. Our direct radiology (DR) X-ray panel provides a clearer image of possible bone damage with a lower x-ray exposure than traditional CR X-ray systems.
