Dr. Salzer established Beaufort Orthopaedic Sports & Spine (now BOSS) in 1987 to fill the local need for state-of-the-art orthopaedic care with an emphasis on principles of sports medicine, utilizing physical therapy extensively, with surgeries only done in the context of the rehabilitation process.
Although many of these techniques were originally developed for athletes, Dr. Salzer applies the same principles to problems that are common to the general population with outstanding outcomes.
Dr. Salzer has a broad range of interests in orthopaedics and approaches every patient on a comprehensive basis. Whenever possible, he focuses on non-operative treatment and improving patients’ conditioning and flexibility before surgical consideration.
Dr. Salzer has surgical and non-operative experience in treating a broad variety of orthopaedic conditions, including spine, hip, knee, and shoulder. He also has expertise in hand surgery, treating a wide variety of hand disorders. Although he was trained in spine surgery, he now focuses on the non-operative conservative management of spine disorders. When surgery is needed, he refers patients to his partners, orthopaedic spine surgeons, Drs. Scott Strohmeyer and Andrew Castro.

5 Stars
Noone better to fix a shattered wrist. In my case, he referred me to another hand specialist in Charleston due to the nature of the break and tendon involved. He immediately took care of my needs and I plan to follow up with him in the future.
