Our Team of Knee Specialists at OhioHealth

Experienced, Compassionate Specialists

OhioHealth knee specialists treat a wide variety of orthopedic conditions, such as sports-related injuries and arthritis. Our goal is to return you to the activities you enjoy as quickly as possible.

Meet Our Team

OhioHealth orthopedic specialists offer advanced care, whether we’re diagnosing a sports injury or managing complex degenerative disease. Our team spans a full range of expertise, from treating a knee injury non-surgically to performing total knee replacements.

Our team includes doctors with specialized expertise for innovative procedures such as robotic-assisted knee or hip replacement, also known as MAKOplasty®. Doctors use 3D computer mapping and interactive robotics to resurface the injured part of the joint and replace it with an artificial implant. We apply these and other highly focused technological skills to reduce pain and speed healing.

Whatever your age, health or condition, you can turn to OhioHealth’s comprehensive team. Our specialists will help you get moving again.

At OhioHealth, our orthopedic doctors, nurses and many other orthopedic specialists collaborate closely and contribute unique skills.
