For fellowship-trained hip and knee replacement specialist Carey Politzer, M.D., improving painful joints is his passion. His focus is treating hip and knee arthritis. “What I love most about this work is that I can help make people significantly better.

Dedicated to advancing his skills, Dr. Politzer also completed a fellowship in hip and knee replacement at the prestigious University of California San Francisco, where he trained under world-renowned joint reconstruction surgeons and performed complex primary and revision surgeries using cutting-edge minimally invasive techniques.
Dr. Politzer approaches each patient individually and spends quality time with each patient to understand their specific goals. He focuses on restoring his patients to a higher level of function as safely and expeditiously as possible, treating everyone how he would treat his own family members.
