Hip Weakness May Contribute to Knee Pain.

If you have knee pain or other knee problems, your physical therapist may pay close attention to your hips and the strength of your hip muscles. Why? Because your hip muscles, like the gluteus medius, control the position of your knees when you are walking, running, or jumping.

Uncemented hip replacement surgery uses implants with roughened surfaces designed to allow the patient's bone to grow directly onto the implant, creating a strong, natural biological bond. Unlike cemented implants, which rely on bone cement that can degrade and fracture, uncemented implants depend o...

🌟🌟 800+ 5-Star Google Reviews 🌟🌟

As a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in minimally invasive hip and knee replacement, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank all of my patients who have taken the time to share their stories, feedback, and reviews.

Your kind words mean more than you know. Each review not only humbles me, but also helps prospective patients feel more confident and informed when facing decisions about their joint health. Knowing that your care and recovery have made a positive impact is what drives me every single day.

None of this would be possible without the incredible team I have the privilege to work alongside — my dedicated physician assistant Ellie Wiedeman, my talented surgical technician Chelsea, and our phenomenal ancillary staff who ensure that every patient is cared for with compassion, respect, and excellence from start to finish.

It’s an honor to serve you and to help you return to the activities you love most. Thank you for trusting me and my team with your care — and for helping others discover that life after hip or knee replacement can truly be pain-free and fulfilling.

With heartfelt gratitude,
