We Save Your Joints
— Not Just Replace Them

Backed by decades of experience, our surgeons use award-winning, proprietary techniques to preserve your natural tissue — helping you enjoy longer-term joint health, less invasive procedures, and fewer future surgeries.

 

From day one, our team takes the time to conduct a comprehensive, holistic evaluation before recommending any treatment — carefully considering your condition, lifestyle, age, and personal goals to define the best path forward.

 

Our Joint Preservation Treatment Approach focuses on protecting and restoring what nature gave you:

Repair:
Stitch or anchor torn tissue back to its natural position using durable, long-lasting techniques.

Revive:
Reestablish blood flow within the joint, restoring vitality and healing capacity.

Realign:
Correct bone or joint imbalances to relieve pain and improve long-term performance.

Regenerate:

Stimulate or restore cartilage and bone to rebuild smooth, healthy joint surfaces.

Why Choose
The Joint Preservation Center

Because your joints — and your care — deserve more than a quick fix.

Our Joint Preservation Philosophy.

We do NOT rush into joint replacement, removal, or other quick short-term fixes. Our team takes the time to perform a thorough evaluation and then recommend a personalized treatment plan that preserves your own tissue whenever possible — for long-lasting mobility, strength, and joint health.

Proprietary Techniques,

Scientifically Proven Superior.

We use exclusive, award-winning methods developed by our own surgeons — scientifically proven to deliver better, longer-lasting outcomes in joint preservation.

And we continue to innovate new devices available only through our team of experts.

Decades of expertise.

Each surgeon brings 25+ years of experience and 1000+ procedures across all major joints — while continually refining their skills to stay at the forefront of orthopedic care.

Smoother Patient Experience. 

Enjoy quick access to specialists, friendly guidance, and digital tools that improve processes and communication.

Collaborative Second Opinions, Built In.

For complex cases, our surgeons consult together to ensure the most precise diagnosis and treatment plan.

Premium Care Made Accessible.

If you have out-of-network benefits, all pre- and post-surgical consultations are completely free — and you can schedule as many as you need.

We Track All of Our Patients’
Outcomes for 5 Years

At The Joint Preservation Center, we believe in full accountability — that’s why our surgeons measure every patient’s symptoms, function, and join-related quality of life both before and after surgery.

 

By tracking your progress over time, we ensure your treatment is not only successful — but meaningful in the long run. To achieve this, we use a HIPAA-compliant platform, called OutcomeMD, that independently measures and verifies each patient’s outcome scores.

We Accept Insurances
With Out-of-
network Benefits

If you have a PPO insurance with out-of-network benefits, you will only be responsible for your in-network copay/deductible (if you proceed with surgery) and there is no charge for the office visits.

 

We exclusively work with surgery centers that are in-network with the following insurances:

  • Aetna PPO
  • Anthem PPO
  • Blue Cross PPO
  • Blue Shield PPO
  • Cigna PPO
  • United Healthcare PPO
  • HealthNet PPO

Our surgeons accept most PPO insurances that have out-of-network benefits.

 

Note: If you do not have a PPO with out-of-network benefits, you can still see our specialists and the surgery center will still be in-network. In this case, he charges $350 for the initial office visit (all follow ups are included). Surgery is typically in the range of $7k – $15k depending on what you need done.
