At Penn Orthopaedics, we understand that receiving an orthopaedic diagnosis may be overwhelming. Whether you’re experiencing a complex orthopaedic issue and are faced with a difficult decision about whether to proceed with surgery, or you just want to make sure you’ve considered all of your options, receiving a second opinion about your diagnosis and treatment plan is important and can provide peace of mind in determining the best path for you.
Seeking the expertise of world-class orthopaedic specialists is often a crucial part of making a decision about your treatment plan. Our highly specialized team of operative and non-operative physicians takes a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating orthopaedic conditions, providing tailored care that treats the whole patient. We complete thousands of orthopaedic procedures a year using the most advanced minimally invasive and traditional techniques available.
