MD Podiatrist Describes Why Going to Work is Worth It
According to Jashan Valjee, DPM, orthopedic surgeon at the Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics, "For many physicians, myself included, one of the primary and most obvious motivators to go into medicine is the desire to improve the lives of others. That desire to help people, combined with the competitive nature of medicine, is enough motivation to get out of bed in the morning. Orthopedic specialists like myself can make a real difference because many of our patients come in with pain or discomfort that we can quickly fix through treatments such as immobilization, cortisone injections or even a surgical repair. We have the ability to improve a person's life almost immediately, which is extremely gratifying".

"Fourteen years into my orthopedic career, I am happy to report that I truly enjoy what I do. All medical careers come with their own challenges; however, my colleagues and staff are irreplaceable, and improving the lives of my patients makes even my long commute into the office worth it each day," says Dr. Valgee.
