become an integral part of his life. His practice is based on general orthopedics, caring for most
of the individual patient’s needs. Particular interest includes total joint replacements,
arthroscopic surgery on the knee and shoulder, fracture care, and hand surgery.

Dr. Dahir, Stacy Nadler Ward, and all of the staff are very excited about joining Dube Orthopedics and Physical Therapy to continue serving the orthopedic needs of the patients in and around Robertson County.
