Elite Female Orthopedist
As one of a small number of female orthopedists in the U.S., Dr. Morrell has a superior understanding of the orthopedic aspects of women’s health issues such as:
- osteoporosis
- osteoarthritis
- female athlete conditions
She supports the growing need for early detection and treatment of osteoporosis to maintain strong bones and prevent fractures.
For arthritis pain, she employs a full range of joint preservation treatments and, when joint replacement surgery becomes necessary, uses minimally invasive techniques.
Except in emergency situations or where there is no other option than surgery, Dr. Morrell starts with a conservative approach and when necessary works up to more invasive procedures. With more than 20 years of surgical experience, Dr. Morrell knows that patients tend to recover more quickly at home and performs the majority of surgeries on an outpatient basis.
