Services: Mako Total Knee Application
Shady Grove is proud to be the only Hospital in your region offering this new treatment option. Mako Total Knee transforms the way total knee replacements are performed. The Mako Total Knee application is a knee replacement treatment option designed to relieve the pain caused by joint degeneration due to osteoarthritis. Through CT-based 3D modeling of bone anatomy, surgeons can use the Mako System to create a personalized surgical plan and identify the implant size, orientation and alignment based on each patient’s unique anatomy. The Mako System also enables surgeons to virtually modify the surgical plan intraoperatively and assists them in executing bone resections.

Good visit. listened to my concerns, explained as neccessary
Dr. Peterson has always been great. Confident and very knowledgeable.
Very friendly, MRI diagnosis was reviewed and explained well
Very personal and easy too talk too
Very efficient, but needs to work on his bedside manner.
My other doctor was hell bent on me getting knee surgery (which i wasn't completely on board with) and Dr. Peterson was the voice of calm suggesting a more wait and see approach. Very much appreciated the advice.
Thank u
He is the Best. I’ve had seen him since 2009. I will never switch to someone else because I don’t think there is anyone better than Dr Peterson. Thank you, Doctor :)
