Dr. Paul Knapp, D.O. is a Metro Detroit native who is a fellowship-trained Orthopedic Surgeon specializing in Adult Hip and Knee reconstructive surgery. After growing up in the Rochester area, he was accepted into the esteemed Lyman Briggs College at Michigan State University. While an undergraduate, he played for the MSU Rugby Team for all four years and helped lead the Spartans to the national Sweet Sixteen. After graduating he went on to complete medical school at Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine and graduated with his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree.
Dr. Knapp completed his residency in Orthopedic Surgery at Ascension Macomb Oakland and Ascension Providence Hospitals. He trained in all 3 counties with some of the highest volume surgeons in Michigan. While in residency he had publications in numerous prominent journals including Journal of Arthroplasty, Bone and Joint Journal, and Arthroplasty Today. He also presented on the podium at international conferences such as International Society of Technology in Arthroplasty (ISTA). During his final year as Chief Resident, he was accepted into the prestigious Adult Reconstruction Fellowship at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. While in NYC, he sharpened his surgical skills under distinguished leaders in Orthopedic Surgery and performed cutting edge joint replacement research.
In addition to general orthopedics and fractures, Dr. Knapp has a special interest in minimally invasive anterior hip replacement.

He continues to stay active with research and enjoys contributing to the orthopedic literature.
Returning home to Metro Detroit has always been his goal and he is excited to serve his community as well as teach residents in his former residency program. He lives in Brighton with his wife Rachel and their two Golden Retrievers. He is passionate about personal fitness, golf, fishing, and vinyl records. Every year he and his father go to the Northern Minnesota wilderness (Boundary Waters) on an off-the-grid canoe voyage to fish for walleye and lake trout.
