Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Wrist specialists are surgeons who treat patients with a range of issues, from arthritis and nerve conditions to sprains and sports-related injuries. Often times, these specialty-trained doctors see patients who have sustained a fracture or injury to the tendons and ligaments in the wrist as the result of a fall. Patients can also develop several nerve injuries and conditions related to the wrist, including cubital tunnel syndrome, which is an elbow condition that can also cause pain in the wrist. Carpal tunnel syndrome primarily affects the wrist and hands due to compression of the nerve that travels over the carpal bones of the wrist.

MRI
Physician assistants are highly trained healthcare providers who work under the supervision of our orthopedic doctors to take medical histories; conduct exams; diagnose and treat bone, joint, and muscle injuries and conditions; order and interpret tests, such as X-rays and MRI; prescribe medications; and assist our doctors during surgery. Our PAs are trained to recognize when patients need the attention of a supervising doctor or additional specialist.
X-Rays

Orthopedics
Orthopedics is the medical specialty devoted to the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention of injuries and diseases of your body’s musculoskeletal system.
Sciatica
Whiplash
Neck specialists see patients who have pain due to compressed nerves in their neck, those with chronic neck pain due to arthritis, and individuals who have sustained an impact injury, such as whiplash, or a cervical fracture that require emergency neck surgery or other urgent care.
Arthroscopy
When shoulder surgery is necessary, our shoulder surgeons utilize the state-of-the-art Summit Surgical facility and employ advanced techniques and procedures, such as shoulder arthroscopy, minimally invasive surgeries, shoulder replacement, and reverse shoulder replacement. Additionally, as part of our Shoulder Center, our providers work together to offer you comprehensive care and the latest treatments to help you restore your function.
Pinched Nerve
Ankle Surgery
Our orthopedic ankle doctors are medical experts who understand the full range of problems that can affect both the foot and ankle, from simple sprains to complex fractures. During your appointment, these ankle specialists may need to rotate the joint in order to better understand the issue. If the doctor needs more information, he or she may schedule an X-ray. This will help the doctor determine whether the injury should be treated through a nonsurgical approach or ankle surgery.
Bunion Surgery
Joint Replacement
The Joint Replacement Center is designed to provide our patients with comprehensive education and exceptional surgical care through the combined knowledge, experience, and expertise of our specialty-trained joint replacement and revision surgeons.
Hand Surgery
Hand doctors are medical specialists who care for patients experiencing pain in the hand or wrist for any number of reasons. They draw on their specialized training as well as experience, offering patients the help and care they need. This begins as soon as the hand doctor meets with the patient, during the initial consultation. After assessing the hand condition (often including the entire upper extremity: wrist, forearm, elbow, and shoulder), the doctor will provide a diagnosis and discuss available nonsurgical treatments or hand surgery, if necessary.
Orthopedic Surgery
He returned to his hometown of Fresno to complete a residency in orthopedic surgery at UCSF Fresno, where he was recognized as Resident of the Year for 2017-2018, was awarded Best Poster in the Trauma Classification at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Annual Meeting 2017, and won the UCSF Fresno Resident Scholar Award in 2020. Dr. Rohlfing then completed a fellowship in adult hip and knee reconstruction at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and became board certified with the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery in 2023.
Bunions
Arthroscopy
When wrist surgery is necessary, our wrist surgeons utilize the state-of-the-art Summit Surgical facility and employ the latest techniques, such as wrist arthroscopy, in performing advanced procedures. Additionally, as part of our Hand Center, our wrist specialists are also highly-trained hand surgeons, offering expert hand assessments and the latest hand and wrist treatments to optimize your function.
Hip Replacement
Hip specialists are doctors with a deep understanding not only of the ball-and-socket hip joint itself but all the bones, muscles, and soft tissues of the hip, including its ligaments, tendons, and nerves. Beyond this, hip specialists also offer effective treatments, whether minimally invasive or surgical, like various hip replacement surgeries, such as total hip replacement and anterior hip replacement.
Knee Replacement
Conditions doctors and surgeons often treat in athletes include anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tears, kneecap fractures, and meniscus tears. Sometimes, these sports-related injuries may result in the need for surgery. If so, an orthopedic surgeon can perform the surgery best suited for that patient, whether it be ACL reconstruction, total knee replacement, partial knee replacement (unicompartmental knee replacement), or another type of knee surgery.
Knee Arthroscopy
When surgery is necessary, our surgeons utilize the state-of-the-art Summit Surgical facility and perform advanced procedures, like knee arthroscopy and knee replacement surgeries, including partial knee replacement or total knee replacement. Additionally, our knee surgeons work together to offer you comprehensive care to help you live with reduced knee pain and restored function.

Sports Medicine
Our three state-of-the-art campuses are home to the San Joaquin Valley’s premier orthopedic, sports medicine, and spine providers.
Physical Therapy
We currently provide patient care at three facilities including our Herndon Campus, Spruce Campus, and Physical Therapy Facility. We opened our first facility, the Herndon Campus, in 2002 and have since grown to include a multitude of teams, services, and accommodations for our patients.
Frozen Shoulder
He or she might care for an athlete who has a sports-related repetitive stress injury that developed while playing baseball, a rotator cuff injury, frozen shoulder, tendonitis, or something else. Our team of sports medicine surgeons also see these types of injuries. For more information on sports-related injuries and treatments, consult our Athlete and Parent's Online Guide to Sports Medicine.
Tennis Elbow
Elbow specialists often see athletes who develop repetitive stress injuries known as tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow. Tennis elbow, also called lateral epicondylitis, is a condition where the forearm muscles and tendons become damaged from overuse. Golfer's elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is another source of tendon pain.

Bunions Problems
Our orthopedic foot specialists are medical doctors with extensive training and experience in foot care. When this type of doctor first meets with a patient, he or she will perform a physical exam to begin determining the appropriate treatment. Sometimes, the doctor will examine other parts of the body, like the ankle, since foot conditions can be related to problems in the ankle. For example, fallen arches could cause problems in the ankle and may require ankle surgery. However, the issue is sometimes only in the foot, such as bunions or toe fractures.
Flat Feet
An orthopedic foot specialist offers treatment options to patients with fallen arches, arthritis, and other issues. This type of chronic pain can be very challenging, but foot doctors can apply their expertise to offer specialized care. Sometimes, surgery is required, such as bunion surgery, but other times, a nonsurgical approach helps, such as physical therapy or medication.
Hammertoes
Heel Pain
Foot Pain
Plantar Fasciitis
Unlike other foot specialists, such as podiatrists, our orthopedic foot surgeons have extensive training in the lower extremity and the entire musculoskeletal system and understand how your feet and ankles are affected by your whole body and overall health. As specialty-trained orthopedic surgeons, our foot and ankle team has more formal education and training than both nonsurgical podiatrists and podiatrists who practice podiatric surgery. And like podiatrists, they offer specialized care for common foot problems, such as neuromas, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and other deformities.
Podiatric Surgery
Delivering high-quality interventional and orthopedic surgical care, Summit Surgical stands at the peak of technology and patient care. From minimally invasive arthroscopic joint procedures for faster recoveries to small joint replacement and intricate microvascular hand and foot surgery, we provide enhanced outcomes and patient satisfaction through our surgery center.
