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.
Performing the third-highest volume of orthopedic surgeries in the state, more than a dozen board-certified orthopedic surgeons bring a proven track record and a wealth of individual experience to the medical staff.
These orthopedic surgeons are committed to the region; many of them have spend more than 15 years practicing at Mount Nittany Medical Center. Long-term surgeons mean consistent surgical teams: registered nurses and surgical technicians who, through years of working side by side, are better able to understand and anticipate the needs of each surgeon in order to deliver the best possible patient care.
