"I believe that the management of musculoskeletal injuries is the goal of fast recovery and that the long term use of opiates and medications simply masks the pain, and, ultimately, does not contribute to maximal recovery. My goal is to take care of my patients throughout their varied stages of life and, through collaborative discussion, adjust their health care plan taking into account my patient's concerns, life events, and changing needs." - Mathew Herbst, MD
