About Christopher Pallia, MD
I felt that my engineering background, understanding of 3D visual-spatial relationships and perfectionistic tendencies fit very well with the specialty of orthopedic surgery. I approach every patient as an individual and look at each problem as important. My goal is not just to relieve pain but to maximize function, through non-operative techniques as well as through surgical correction. I apply a high level of expectation to myself and treat everyone with the utmost courtesy and professionalism. I continually acquire new knowledge and skills, and use all the latest techniques and equipment. My degree in bioengineering has provided me with a unique appreciation of the structure and function of the human body. Additionally, my sub-specialty training and certification in arthroscopy and sports medicine provided me with a foundation for properly treating injured and degenerative joints. Helping all of my patients achieve their goals in life offers me a great sense of satisfaction. I enjoy spending time with my wife and three daughters, hiking, mountain biking, and inventing when I am not working.

Dr. Pallia smirks instead of using words. He ware rude, sarcastic, and condescending. He ignored all my questions and made derogatory remarks. he told me I needed a total knee replacement but did not address the other issues, fracture, bone marrow edema.

Dr. Pallia is tops. Answered all questions, shows graphics of areas for surgery, and... his own in-office assessment.
