A doctor who stays active too
When he’s not treating patients, Dr. Sahrai is on the ski slopes or the volleyball court. He knows what it means to want to get back to the activities you love, and he’ll be straight with you about what it takes.
He asks new patients for three visits to see if he can help. If there’s little or no improvement, he recommends imaging or refers you to a sports medicine or orthopedic doctor.
From active patients
“I have had 2 different knee injuries, and Dr. Sahrai’s treatments and advice has gotten me back up and running (literally) with both of these challenges and I am in great shape again!”
“As an athlete in combat sports, I needed to find the right doctor to make sure my body is moving correctly day by day. … Dr. Sahrai is wonderful, he can tell you immediately if there is a problem with your body.”
“I injured my low & mid back weight lifting and I had been dealing with shoulder tendinitis for years. … Dr. Sahrai was extraordinary and detailed oriented, he explained everything and truly cared about how I felt and my way of life.”
