My name is Dr. Michael Kralovec. I completed my residency training in orthopedic surgery at the Mayo Clinic and then followed this with an additional fellowship in complex hip and knee replacement at Harvard University. I trained at the best institutions because I wanted to be able to provide the best possible care to my patients.
There, I had the benefit of helping perform some of the most challenging and cutting-edge orthopedic surgeries in the world. I helped perform over 1,000 surgeries at Mayo and Harvard and worked with over 20 different world-renowned surgeons. I have had an incredible opportunity to learn the best techniques and experiences from each of these talented surgeons.
My area of research interest is in pain control and early rehabilitation in total hip and knee replacement. During my time at the Mayo Clinic, I co-authored a study evaluating the use of a new pain control technique in total knee replacement that can have fewer side effects than other techniques. This technique allows patients to be up walking the same day of surgery with limited pain. My goal is to get patients through surgery with as little pain as possible and recovered from surgery and back to the activities they love as quickly as possible.
Before medical school, I received a double degree in biomedical engineering and mechanical engineering from Duke University and often incorporate my engineering background by using computer simulation to help plan surgeries. At Mayo and Harvard, I have had experience with robotic-assisted surgeries and also with custom 3-D printed orthopedic implants for extremely challenging cases.
Although all of my technical training and experience has been on the cutting edge, my approach to patient care is very traditional. It can be summed up by a quote from Dr. William Mayo who founded the Mayo Clinic in the 1800’s. “The needs of the patient are the only interest to be considered.”
The patient/surgeon relationship is very important, and I have a lifelong bond with my patients. I look forward to meeting you in my clinic and having the opportunity to serve you.

Very detailed and expert knowledge
Great nurse practitioner. Fast appointment. Great X-ray technicians did everything they could to make me very comfortable and worked very fast. Dr Kralovec read the X-rays quickly and the results were ready in minutes. I highly recommend Dr. kralovec
Fantastic doctor that explains well!!
Excellent
Very quick and thorough
He replaced both of my hips this year. I was mowing my lawn not even after 2 weeks for the first. The second was about the same. I can't thank this dr. Enough. He was awesome!!!! Highly recommend
I recently had a total knee replacement. Dr. Kralovec explained everything from start to finish. I’m back to all of my normal activities in a short time frame. I feel absolutely confident in his knowledge and skills as a surgeon and he has a friendly manner. Both if those traits put a patient undergoing a major surgery at ease.
Most efficient!!
Everyone is so helpful.They explain everything I need to know.
Very nice staff very efficient and informative!Going back for another surgery in November.
