Offering advanced orthopedic procedures including anterior approach hip replacement and hand surgery, our team focuses on providing the best care possible for each patient. Working closely with providers throughout Altru allows for comprehensive care from your first visit through recovery.
In late summer 2015, Altru Orthopedics & Sports Medicine moved into a new location at Altru Professional Center. This move means more convenient care for our patients, as we are in close proximity to complementary services, such as Podiatry, and Altru Specialty Center, where all orthopedic procedures are done. This clinic space offers a new rooming process available to patients that allows for shorter wait times and more efficient visits.

At Altru, we demonstrate quality through compassionate and individualized care. We will get you moving again as quickly, safely and painlessly as possible.
