DR SMALLMAN HAS RETIRED.
Dr Smallman's special expertise is in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic knee pain. As a physician, my special interest is in you, adult or child, plagued by disabling knee pain which dominates your life. Such pain in the adult is often multifactorial. In the child such pain is of urgent concern, as it can be overwhelming, inducing avoidance behavior and lifestyle modification within months. We have published a peer-reviewed, safe, simple surgical approach to chronic knee pain, successful in most. Our team’s research interest is chronic knee pain, in adults and children.
