Orthopedic surgery has the power to drastically improve the life of a patient. It can start the recovery process following an injury, relieve painful conditions and even return lost function. In short, it can be a new beginning.
There are many reasons that our orthopedics program receives such high marks: state-of-the-art facilities; experienced, board-certified surgeons; a commitment to quality and safety; and, most importantly, our focus on you, our patient.
Experience is a major gauge of surgical excellence. The orthopedic surgeons practicing at Mount Nittany Medical Center are not only highly skilled, but also highly experienced.
