Dr. Brett Wasserlauf

Offices: Bloomfield, Vernon

Dr. Wasserlauf, specializing in sports medicine, surgery of the shoulder and knee, and joint replacement surgery, is personally invested in his patients’ outcomes. He employs non-operative treatment methods, when possible, to take advantage of the body’s ability to heal itself. When surgery is necessary, he is skilled in minimally invasive techniques for shoulder, knee, and sports injuries. As a skilled surgeon, he utilizes the most advanced techniques for joint preservation and joint replacement surgery.
