Gin Lee has been the practice manager for OEP since it began 3 years ago.
Gin has extensive experience with business management and client/patient relations after nearly 30 years helping attorneys and doctors manage their legal and medical practices. Her extensive knowledge of front and back office operations provides very valuable to the business owners who depend on her. We feel very lucky to have her!!!
Gin's favorite part of the job is "interacting with the doctors, staff and patients," she says. She is often times a familiar face for our patients because Gin has been an El Paso resident for her entire life. She is always delighted to see someone she knows come into our practice, knowing they have made the right choice for their orthopedic care. It gives the patient much comfort, too, knowing she's there to look after them.
Gin is married and has two sons, Jordn and Evret. But, it is her two grandsons "who really own my heart," she says.
If you are uncertain about who to seek for your orthopedic care, give Gin a call at 915-249-4000. She is your best resource for navigating from consultation to aftercare.
Thank you for all you do, Gin. From all of us at Ortho El Paso and The Precision Hand Surgery Center at Ortho El Paso. We love you!
may "Dr. Justin Mitchell rocks!! I got injections on my elbow; feeling no pain! Golf anyone? (Just kidding!) –Elizabeth L.
​In cases of osteoarthritis of the elbow, cortisone injections have been found to help ease pain and swelling. Cortisone can be artificially produced and purified for injection into inflamed or arthritic joints, caused from rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or trauma.
For osteoarthritis of the elbow, a cortisone injection can help reduce inflammation for as long as 2-3 months…and sometimes even longer if not too advanced. But, in advanced cases, our orthopaedic surgeon may try to remove fluid from the elbow first by inserting a needle into the joint and pulling the fluid out before injecting cortisone.
Following the injection of cortisone into the elbow, there may be still be slight pain. These reactions usually occur in the first 24-48 hours after the injection but are mild and can be easily treated by icing, elevating, and/or taking mild medications to help ease any pain.
If you are suffering from elbow pain, schedule a consultation with one of our board-certified orthopaedic surgeons specializing in elbow pain. Call Ortho El Paso at 915-249-4000.
You don't know how reliable the source is. Anyone can publish anything on the internet. That's why you DON'T want to take the advice it offers. You'll actually notice that most reliable medical sites, like ours, do not offer medical treatments plans at our website. Our recommendation is to always seek medical attention if you have symptoms of pain or illness.
You are likely to misdiagnose yourself. Bad advice might send you to the wrong doctor…and start you down a path for misdiagnosis. This will actually your treatment. It's always best to see your primary care doctor when you first suspect you have an injury or illness. They'll then refer you for the best treatment.
You could delay treatment when you really need it. Symptoms do indicate something may be wrong. Sometimes, a short delay in seeking the right doctor's help could end up having some pretty dire consequences.
You might add to your symptoms. Like the meme, Googling symptoms will come up with the most extreme answers. If you are already feeling bad, this may only enhance your symptoms of anxiety.
Ortho El Paso writes this post not to tell you that you shouldn't go to the doctor if you feel sick or are in pain. We do it to tell you that you SHOULD. Your primary doctor is the best place for you to start if you have symptoms of illness or pain. The minute you feel that something just is not right, call to make an appointment. They'll properly diagnose you and point you in the right direction for treatment.
For orthopaedic treatment, Ortho El Paso is your best source for board certified highly skilled doctors. Call for a consultation at 915-249-4000.
Jason Vourazeris, M.D., of Ortho El Paso has performed the first procedure in a new surgery center located on the westside of El Paso. Physician's West El Paso Surgery Center is located directly across from Franklin High School on Redd Road and will provide a convenient location for surgical patients who live in west El Paso.
Today, Dr. Vourazeris treated the first patient to visit Physician's West El Paso Surgery Center who has been dealing with painful knee arthritis for many years. Accompanied by his surgical team, Stephen Anaya, Jacob Gaytan, Leslie Pierce and Jimmie Williams, Dr. V performed a cutting-edge bone marrow/stem cell injection into her knee to relieve the pain. The patient said that in addition to Dr. V's skills and reputation, the location of the new surgery center influenced her decision to have the procedure done there.
