“To Provide the Absolute Best, Expedient, and Individualized Patient Care”

Dr. Kusnezov focuses on the most contemporary, evidence-based practices surrounding patient-centered care, with an emphasis on conservative management, joint preservation, and regenerative medicine in an effort to help patients avoid surgery, if at all possible, while maintaining the absolute best quality of life.

While surgery may often be necessary to restore and improve pain and function, Dr. Kusnezov implements the latest technological advancements with the goal of early mobilization and rapid recovery through soft tissue preservation, multimodal pain control, and early post-operative rehabilitation protocols. Dr. Kusnezov believes that patient expectation is key to optimizing outcomes, and he focuses on thoroughly educating his patients on what to realistically expect pre- and post-operatively while promoting inter-departmental coordination in order to ensure that each patient is on track with the most expedited recovery possible.

  There are no words to express how I feel after receiving my knee revision surgery by you and your wonderful staff. I received amazing care before, during and after surgery. I am astounded by what an exceptional job you did by giving me full range of motion on my left knee. ...

• I was surprised in the best way when waking up after surgery and having the Dr right there to ask if I felt okay. It was reassuring and a sincerely kind thing to do and I'll never forget that.
