surgery. His practice serves patients
with arthritis, especially of the hips and
knees, as well as individuals suffering
with persistently painful or failed joint
replacements. In addition, Dr. Leopold
is experienced at a variety of minimallyinvasive
joint replacement techniques,
which can significantly shorten the
