He’s also lectured other orthopedic surgeons from around the world on various techniques in arthroscopic surgery. Dr. Halbrecht is the inventor of Versalok®, a surgical device that improves the success and speed of rotator cuff repair.
Dr. Halbrecht is an active member of several medical societies including the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, the Arthroscopy Association of North America, and the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine.
Dr. Ephraim Dickinson attended Williams College where he studied political science and biology. From there he received his MD from Columbia University before moving to San Francisco to complete his orthopedic residency.
