After attending the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine at Midwestern University, Dr. Campbell did his Orthopedic Surgery residency near Detroit as part of the Michigan State University system. Later, he completed his Spine Surgery Fellowship at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. He brings to our practice solid orthopedic training in treating disorders of the spine and an enthusiastic willingness and ability to meet the challenges of care for complex patients, particularly those in the Worker’s Compensation arena.
Although a fellowship trained orthopedic spine surgeon, Dr. Campbell has found his passion lies in helping people avoid spine surgery, if possible, decrease narcotic usage, and improve the function of those with lingering pain after surgery
"I offer a well rounded approach to patient care that includes education,
exercise, alternative therapies, careful use of medications and interventional
procedures."
I graduated medical school in India. I finished my residency in
Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at State University of New
York in 2005, where I received extensive training in injection therapies
and techniques. I have a special interest in taking care of patients
with spinal pain using comprehensive and integrated diagnostic and treatment
programs.
"I enjoy providing patients recovering
from musculoskeletal injuries with an integrated manner of diagnosis and
treatment."
I graduated from Columbia University in
New York City with a BA in economics and received my medical degree from
Hahnemann University in Philadelphia in 1991. Training continued at St.Mary's
Medical Center in San Francisco and became focused in physical medicine & rehabilitation
at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas. By 1996, I directed
the Orthopedic & Back Pain Centre clinic in El Paso, Texas and later
pursued academic interests at the University of California at San Francisco's
Department of Occupational & Environmental Medicine in 1997. Since
then, I continue to explore the complementary roles of acupuncture, joint
mobilization, spinal intervention, and prolotherapy and combine this
with my medical training to address musculoskeletal injuries incurred
in an occupational setting. I offer these skills now at SFMMG.
"My goal is to colaborate with patients to facilitate reaching their optimum potential. My diverse experience in general orthopaedic surgery, including emergency care and workers' compensation injury evaluation and treatment supports a comprehensive approach."
After receiving my medical degree at New York Medical College, I completed a general and orthopaedic surgery residency program that included pediatric orthopaedics at St. Charles Children's Orthopaedic Hospital in New York and trauma reconstruction at Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center in Colrado. I began private practice in San Francisco in 1971 at French Hospital Medical Center where I served as Chairman of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery from 1981-87. Teaching and supervising orthopaedic residents has been an integral part of my practice. In 1990 I expanded to Marin County with an additional active practice in Marin General Hospital.

SFMMG and all involved parties’ ability to provide the best possible
care through quality assurance and claims management."
I am a physician assistant in orthopedics and occupational medicine. Over

Dr. Barry Meskin provides specialized excellence in the orthopedic evaluation and treatment of foot and ankle disorders.
He has spent 13 years concerned with complex and challenging problems of trauma, surgery, and sports medicine. Workers compensation is mostly spent providing treatment, although extremely well versed as a qualified medical examiner and agreed medical evaluator. After completing his undergraduate BS degree in South Africa he graduated from the California College of Podiatric Medicine in San Francisco in 1992. He completed his surgical residency rotating through the San Francisco General and Oakland Highland Hospitals. This complete training on the surgical and medical management enables him to continue rendering care, in an efficient, and cost effective manner. Many foot and ankle problems can be corrected with conservative treatment, although if surgery is indicated, he is trained in arthroscopic surgery as well as reconstructive procedures of the foot and ankle. A ctive staff privileges are maintained at CPMC as well as many out-patient surgery centers. Continued concern is also oriented around the prevention of such injuries with physical therapy, orthotics, bracing and shoe recommendations as indicated. Diagnostic and therapeutic injections have also proven to provide a significant adjunct with effective relief and benefit.
Dr. Naraghi believes that the majority of Spinal disorders could be treated without Surgery. We first obtain an accurate diagnosis, and discuss all the options and alternatives. Only after a reasonable trial of physical therapy, if symptoms still continue, then selective spinal injections, and minimally invasive procedures or surgery may be recommended, to improve function and get the best results.
