With a teaching background, John Navarro’s approach to care is education-focused. He says a major focus of his is explaining what is going on in terms the patients can understand in order to accomplish their goals.
“Whether it is walks with their loved ones, playing with the grandkids, returning to work, or taking care of their yard, orthopedics is about returning (patients) to their life.”
