Dr. Om Patel is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon who specializes in joint replacement of the hip and knee. He obtained his fellowship training at the prestigious Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. There he learned the most advanced techniques in modern hip and knee reconstruction from many of the world’s experts. Dr. Patel’s clinical interests include both non-operative and operative treatment of lower extremity joint pain ranging from traumatic injuries to degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis. He believes in the power of non-operative measures such as injections and therapy.
