It should come as no surprise that there’s a great need for knee orthopedic expertise. Everyone who enjoys activity, from the weekend warrior to the professional athlete, counts on his or her knee joints to tolerate a terrific pounding. In 2006, approximately 12 million visits were made to physicians' offices due to knee problems.¹ And, with the arthritic population growing, the need is bound to become greater.

At Aurora Health Care, our knee orthopedic surgeons are uniquely qualified to address your knee conditions and get you back to the activities you enjoy as quickly as possible. 

  • Many of our knee orthopedic surgeons are fellowship trained, which means they have additional training—beyond medical school and residency—with a dedicated focus on the knee treatment 
  • We have three of the most experienced joint replacement surgeons in Wisconsin
  • We're one of only 3 percent of hospitals in the nation—and the only one in Wisconsin—to receive certification in knee joint replacement by the Joint Commission, an independent, not-for-profit organization that accredits and certifies more than 18,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States.

Our experienced, dedicated knee orthopedic surgeons work closely with other experts including physical therapists to provide coordinated care for your knee problems. Rehabilitation is a critically important component of any treatment plan, leading to restored function, reduced pain and allowing you to rediscover the joy of living.
