James S Aitken, DO

Care Philosophy

As a former varsity swimmer, I know how disheartening it is to be sidelined by an injury or pain. That’s why I strive to offer each patient comprehensive and compassionate care, so they can regain their quality of life and return to doing what they love. By listening and allowing my patients to be intimately involved in their care, I aim to ensure that they feel heard and have a treatment plan tailored to meet all their needs. Being certified and trained to use advanced robotics, I help my patients by offering cutting-edge procedures to eliminate their pain and deliver effective treatment modalities and solutions.
