PHILOSOPHY:
Dr. Goltz is interested in all areas of orthopedics and sports medicine but has a special interest and fellowship training in the care of athletic injuries. He believes in maximizing non-operative treatment whenever possible with an early return to full activity.

If surgery becomes necessary, Dr. Goltz relies on proven, state of the art surgical techniques, and employs the same advanced procedures and rehabilitation for professional and recreational athletes alike.

Dr. Goltz not only cares for athletes as patients, but provides on field medical care for the US Ski team at international competitions and here at home covering local high-school athletic programs.
