"To adequately serve a community as large and spread out as Charlottesville and its surrounding areas, we needed to expand our outpatient presence to improve access to our specialists," said orthopedic surgeon Gregory Degnan, MD. "The Western region, certainly one of our fastest growing areas, deserves convenient access to our specialty services."
