How Dr. Nascimento works
Three principles behind every treatment plan.
A full picture, not just a scan
Your exam starts with how the injury happened and what you need your body to do — an office job and a competitive season call for different plans.
Surgery when it's the right tool
Physical therapy, bracing, and injections are considered before surgery, and recommended on their own merits — not as a delay tactic.
Recovery mapped from day one
If surgery is the path, you'll leave the consult knowing the timeline, the milestones, and what "better" will look like at each stage.
