Also present was Styker's Robot-Arm Assisted Surgery System that can perform a total knee, partial knee, and total hip.  This innovative surgical robot boasts reduced pain, shorter recover times, and great surgical outcomes.  Representatives at Stryker were able to provide hands on technical use of this tool directly to the patients.

As stated by Dr. Justin Sherfey, "We are nothing without our amazing patients". AVORS Medical Group was humbled to have such an amazing turnout as our attendance included almost four hundred people including patients, guests, and vendors.  Dr. Thomas Nasser summarized the event by saying "We are so humbled to see your faces and trust in our practice, providers, and staff. Ultimately we become closer like family as you transition from Injury to Health Independence and we are grateful for the trust you place in our hands". 

"This event is a patient appreciation Breakfast honoring our patients and thanking them for trusting in our care. It can be scary to place your trust in anyone other than yourself. We are thankful that you place your trust in our group. We know you are in expert hands" said Joseph Hurley, CEO of AVORS Medical Group. "We saw our venue change this year as we were too large for our last location. Our numbers grew to over three hundred and fifty patients. The new location held our group but our new list will most likely cause us to seek a new location to hold the new projected patients! What a blessing to have this as a problem." concluded Mr. Hurley. 

AVORS Medical Group provided attendees with a full breakfast while providers and AVORS CEO discussed upcoming services or new innovations coming to the Antelope Valley. 

Highlights:

AVORS Medical Group CEO Joseph Hurley spoke about Innovation within AVORS and the changes AVORS Medical Providers made to improve the lives of those living in the entire Antelope Valley. Major changes in innovation included Dr. Alon Antebi being the first surgeon in the Antelope Valley to perform Anterior Hip Replacements and the benefits this services offered the Antelope Valley. Dr. Alon Antebi discussed what lead him to perform the Anterior Hip Replacement and how this service has allowed patients in the Antelope Valley to obtain world class care here at home and not need to leave to go outside of this valley. The Anterior Hip Replacement reduces dislocations for total hips and reduces the down time patients experience to return back to an active lifestyle. 

Dr. Eric Owashi gave a lecture on what necessitates a total knee replacement, demonstrating knee replacement mechanics, and the focus of AVORS to bring in Robotic Total Knee Replacement by 2023. AVORS CEO Joseph Hurley Spoke again introducing Dr. Justin Sherfey and explained how Dr. Sherfey was the 1st Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine to be recognized by the Royal College of Surgeons and Physicians in Canada. This groundbreaking accomplishment has allowed D.O. to be recognized not only in Canada but internationally as well. Dr. Justin Sherfey spoke about Total Shoulder Replacement and how this procedure is completed by Fellowship Trained Sports Medicine Physicians and discussed about In-Space from Styker helping non-surgical Rotator Cuff Tears. Stem cell injections and new innovative therapies to rely on your body mechanics to heal. Dr. Thomas Nasser spoke about advancements in Pain Management that have radically altered the level of pain in patients lives and discussed Abbott/Nevro Spinal Stimulators, Nevro Diabetic Neuropathy solutions, new procedures called the Mild Procedure, Vertiflex Procedure, and Pain Pumps. New procedures that reduce opioid dependence and help patients live more pain free lives. 

As AVORS Medical Group has grown, Innovative therapies benefit those who live locally in the Antelope Valley. AVORS looks forward to next year and showing our patient appreciation with new services, great outcomes, and new possibilities to get patient's back to living pain free. This event will run every year as a way to give back to AVORS patients for having their Total Joint Replacement or Implant Surgery performed by our AVORS providers.  Our hope is patients can continue to invite others to our patient appreciation event.
