The Coon Joint Replacement Institute is dedicated to restoring lost movement and the freedom that comes with it. Led by Thomas Coon, MD, a world renowned orthopedic surgeon who pioneered minimally invasive knee replacement surgery in the United States, the institute offers the most advanced minimally invasive treatment options for hip and knee joint replacement.

Our pioneering team has been recognized for its contributions to the art and science of joint replacement. The team is made up of all disciplines of orthopedic care - anesthesiologists, surgeons, physician's assistants, a dedicated operating room team, skilled floor nursing and physical therapists. It is noteworthy that this group works so well together - like a seasoned orchestra - they anticipate, collaborate and deliver care as one.

What began with a simple yet powerful vision guides the Coon Joint Replacement Institute’s philosophy of whole person care; helping people to heal the mind, body and spirit. Our innovative approach to integrative care delivers a unique experience that helps one to not only recover, but to get well, stay well, and be healthy – for life.

As you consider the orthopedic team that will diagnose, recommend treatment, perform surgery and manage the recovery, you should carefully consider the experience and track record. The team at the Coon Joint Replacement Institute team has performed thousands of total joint replacements, making them among the most experienced. This experience promotes improved outcomes and faster and better recoveries.
