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.

Professional.
Very compassionate. Great and caring doctor!
Speaks very fast and doesn't seem to spend too much time with patient. He had x-rays, but never showed them to me.
Approachable. Great surgeon. Never feel rushed.
Personable and friendly. Informative about options.
Dr. Peterson was very helpful in understanding hip pain that I was experiencing.Very professional and personable. Took the time to listen to problem and to explain x-ray results.
Very informative and kind. Took time to explain alternatives and differences between full and partial knee replacements. Made me feel very comfortable like he really cared about my situation and not just another knee.
Not satisfied. He was in so rush. He didn’t even talk properly.
Great doctor!
Wonderful, no Surgety!! Thanks
