About Vijay Thangamani, MD

Philosophy of Care

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.
