Surgeons

Our personalized approach keeps the focus on you and helping you return to a life in motion with less joint pain. It’s also reassuring to know you’re in good hands at the region's premier joint center staffed by UR Medicine doctors, who are leaders in the field:

  • We’re the only joint center in the region where every joint replacement surgeon is fellowship trained, the highest level of training available.
  • Located throughout the region, we’re the only team that performs knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, and ankle replacements, as well as spine, orthopaedic fracture, and minimally invasive arthroscopic surgeries.
  • We perform 78% more knee replacements and 25% more hip replacements than the national average, as well as the most shoulder, elbow, and ankle replacements in the region. This is important because research indicates that surgeons with more training, and who complete more surgeries, have better outcomes.

We also lead the way in advanced technology, using robotic-assisted surgeries and computer-aided navigation when needed. Our surgeons bring skill and precision to every procedure, understanding that the success of robotic surgery hinges on the expertise of the surgeon.
