In ancient Greek, the word “ortho” meant “straight,” and this reflects the basic mission of orthopaedic medicine: keeping bones and muscles healthy and working at their optimum level.

At AVH Surgical Associates, our orthopaedists treat a wide range of diseases and disorders related to the musculoskeletal system (including joints, ligaments, tendons and nerves.)

The orthopaedic team at AVH Surgical Associates consists of Dr. Harry Stearns, III; Dr. Delphine Glorieux-Sullivan, and physician assistant Richard Lorenz. These skilled professionals have successfully treated thousands of patients for everything from arthritis to sports injuries to repetitive stress problems and more. In addition, there are other area private practitioners who provide services at AVH.
