Established in 1981 by Dr. David Cooper, The Knee Center provides it's patients with expert knowledge and opinions for knee and lower extremity complaints.
Effectively addressing any health issue, including knee problems, requires proper evaluation, analysis, and accurate diagnosis. This process is best accomplished by caring, experienced individuals, equipped with the appropriate tools.
The Knee Center staff has been providing these services for nearly a quarter of a century. Arguably the greatest asset of The Knee Center is Dr. Cooper's wealth of experience; he has treated thousands of patients including NASCAR drivers, players from the NFL, NHL, Major League Baseball, and other professional athletes.
Most of the health concerns that The Knee Center treats do not require surgery.
However, when the proper diagnosis does indicate surgery, it is comforting to know that
Dr. Cooper has personally performed over 6,000 knee surgeries - more than virtually
any other surgeon in the region, and is one of the most experienced knee surgeons in the world.
If indeed surgery is necessary, it is usually of the arthroscopic kind that can be done as an outpatient. Dr. Cooper performs arthroscopic surgery personally at the Riverview Surgical Center in Kingston, Pa. The surgical center is fully staffed with board certified specialists and is fully accredited. We want to make the experience as relaxing as possible; If you have any questions about the surgery, you are invited to see the facility and/or speak with the director.
The Knee Center staff realizes that though they have treated thousands of patients, this may be your first experience with a health issue of this nature. The Staff will do their best to guide you through the process with a minimum of uncertainty or anxiety.
In today's health care environment, comprehensive treatment of your condition may require coordination with your family physician, physical therapist, chiropractor or D.O, as well as your employer, or even insurance companies or legal council.
The Knee Center staff's experience, and "team approach" to this potentially daunting situation allows them to keep those concerned with your care informed and up to date while minimizing any inconvenience to you - allowing you to concentrate on getting well.
Though there are many sources of medical information available a mouse click away, The Knee Center staff still believes that the foundation of good medical care is a proper patient-physician encounter.
No amount of information can replace talking one-on-one to another human being who can examine you personally, and has the expertise to properly evaluate your situation, and discuss your options.
The Knee Center's helpful, professional staff, availability of on-site state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, and Dr. Cooper's unparalleled experience, is the combination of resources that has successfully addressed the knee or lower extremity concerns of thousands of people.
