Dr. Efremov in surgery

As an orthopedic surgeon, I focus on helping patients restore mobility and return to the life they want to live.

My approach is highly individualized, grounded in a clear understanding of each patient’s condition, goals, and expectations. Every treatment plan is carefully designed to deliver the best possible outcome, with precision, clarity, and attention to detail at every step.

My practice is dedicated to foot and ankle conditions, including fractures, tendon and ligament injuries, sprains, arthritis, and deformities. I specialize in minimally invasive surgical techniques, which allow procedures to be performed through small incisions.

I am actively involved in research focused on minimally invasive surgery and ankle replacement.

As a third-generation physician, I have built my practice around precision, consistency, and patient care.
