General Practitioners

Arthritis
In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, the body’s immune system attacks the membrane surrounding the joint, causing it to become inflamed and eventually wear away.
Primary Care
Many of our patients receive corticosteroid or steroid injections as part of their treatment plan for knee arthritis. Another common name that is frequently used is “a Cortisone injection”. Along with the administration of the steroid medicine, it was mixed with an anesthetic or numbing medicine which may give temporary relief for 1-4 hours. When the anesthetic wears off, it may take between 2-10 days for the steroid to become fully effective in relieving inflammatory pain. If you are diabetic and you check your blood sugar levels, be aware that the steroid injection may temporarily elevate levels for 1-5 days. If they remain elevated, please contact your Primary Care Physician. The duration of pain relief following steroid injections varies greatly between patients.
Family Practice

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Ultrasound
We provide a range of diagnostic approaches that include MRI, Ultrasound, X-ray, and CT as well as treatment options such as medication, exercise, therapeutic procedures, and surgery.
MRI
The orthopedic doctors at Rochester Community Orthopaedics are highly trained in evaluating and treating knee injuries. From simple injuries including sprains and overuse to more complex injuries including ligament tears and fractures, the orthopedic surgeons at Rochester Community Orthopaedics are able to diagnose your injury. After the initial evaluation, a plan for either further diagnostic testing or treatment is created to best fit the patient’s needs and goals. A state-of-the-art x-ray facility is available in our office and, if it is determined to be appropriate, an MRI scan can be scheduled at another facility.

Hip Replacement
The hip is constructed with six bones that work in tandem. The ball-and-socket joint allows an extensive range of motion that allows for comfortable sitting, standing, walking, and bending. A hip replacement surgery replaces damaged tendons with artificial parts that help relieve pain and improve function.
Knee Replacement
Dr. Rashid is an awesome orthopedic surgeon based on my experience of having an elbow tendon repair and a total knee replacement. She thoroughly explains treatment options, takes time during appointments to listen to you, and demonstrates concern and compassion. I have recommended her to my friends and trust her as my doctor.

Sports Medicine
Shoulder problems are very common and can affect a wide range of age groups. These can include sprains, strains, and dislocations from sports injuries. Overuse injuries, tendonitis, and impingement syndrome are common problems, especially in active people in their 40s and 50s. Rotator cuff tears and arthritis are more common problems as people get older. The orthopedic doctors at Rochester Community Orthopaedics are very experienced and skilled at evaluating and treating all types of shoulder conditions.
Physical Therapy
The surgeons at Rochester Community Orthopaedics are members of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery with interest in evaluating and treating arthritic joints. The evaluation consists of a thorough history of the patient, a physical exam, and, if necessary, imaging studies including X-rays which can be done right in our office.
