Educates Patients
Dr. Poulsen feels strongly about taking the time to educate patients and answer any and all questions. He is truly concerned with making each patient feel comfortable with their treatment plan.
ACL Techniques
During fellowship at the University of Kentucky, Dr. Poulsen learned the latest, recently-developed anatomic ACL surgical techniques. During surgery, it is extremely important that the ACL be reconstructed anatomically (i.e., making sure the native insertion points are recreated).
Dr Poulsen is passionate about knees.
He treats a variety of knee conditions such as:
ACL and other ligament injuries (MCL, PCL, LCL, etc), meniscus and cartilage injuries,
patellar dislocations and MPFL tears,
loose bodies, osteoarthritis, bursitis and tendinitis, Baker’s cysts, iliotibial band
syndrome, and many other injuries.
Knee injuries
Having experienced many athletic injuries himself, Dr. Poulsen understands the need and desire to return to sports and other activities as soon as possible. Based on his experience, he is able to empathize with the emotional difficulties associated with temporarily being "out of the game" because of injury.

He treats a variety of shoulder conditions such as labrum and rotator cuff tears, shoulder dislocations, biceps tendon injuries, impingement syndrome, AC joint injuries, cartilage and ligament injuries, loose bodies, bursitis and tendinitis, osteoarthritis, and many other injuries.
