At Orthopedic Associates, we specialize in treatment of the shoulder

Looking for an orthopedist can be daunting. You want someone experienced, with outstanding credentials, high success outcomes, and who accepts your insurance. Even more importantly your doctor needs to diagnose and communicate as if they were your friend, not a businessperson.

Our board certified doctors have been practicing medicine for a combined total of 183 years of experience. Each has their own, prestigious internships, fellowships, honors, awards, and affiliations. We encourage you to visit our doctors' biographies to get to know not only their accreditation and accomplishments, but also their life outside of work.

Our physicians work so well with patients in our community because they are part of it. Every Friday night you can find them on the sidelines at high school football games, ready to treat and advise youth athletes. We know that you’re an individual with your own routine, goals, and limitations. The doctors at Orthopedic Associates spend the time it takes to understand each patient and their unique situation holistically so that the best diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation can be provided right here at home.

Dr. Dickson did carpul tunnel release on my right hand and a few weeks later did surgery to remove a mucos sisk from my left hand. I was very pleased with the whole experience. Everyone was pleasant and helpful. Dr. Dickson saw me every visit and answered any concerns I had. I will recommend him to anyone needing care.

Vitals Patient

[Dr. Dickson was a] great hand surgeon! Highly recommend him!

Vitals Patient

Dr. Dickson is one of the best doctors I have ever been to! My case is very complicated and he took the time to fully explain everything before my surgeries. I was referred to him by an orthopedic surgeon in Denton. Dr. Dickson is a real pro and is super knowledgeable with the surgery to the finger/hand.
