My work is ded­i­cat­ed to the pre­ven­tion, diag­no­sis and treat­ment of dis­eases and injuries of the mus­cu­loskele­tal sys­tem. As one of the for­mer team physi­cians for the Boston Celtics and Tufts Uni­ver­si­ty, as well as a for­mer stu­dent ath­let­ic train­er at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Notre Dame, I have a spe­cial inter­est in sports and activ­i­ty relat­ed injuries and con­di­tions. My edu­ca­tion­al expe­ri­ences enable me to uti­lize proven, state-of-the-art treat­ments and pro­ce­dures that can restore mobil­i­ty and help patients return to an active lifestyle. This includes ACL recon­struc­tion, hip arthroscopy with labral repair, rota­tor cuff repair, and shoul­der sta­bi­liza­tion surgery.

"Dr Thangamani was very professional and thorough. He also took the time to refer me to another MD for further assessment and plan. He reviewed my MRI's with me and explained in detail what thiey mean and possible options to help relief pain and so I could have a better quality of life. I felt like he cared to help me get better instead of making me feel like I just have to adapt my life to accommodate my limitations. ITHis visit truly gave me hope that possibly there is something that can help me. Thank you so much."
