Dr Kann one of the best Doctor in his profession, very courageous, kind & considerate.
I brought my 14 yo son, a hockey player, in for a broken hand. Dr. Kann explained everything so perfectly to my son and I. We understood what was wrong and how he was going to help it heal. The appointment was to the point but did not feel rushed. My son went in feeling discouraged and overwhelmed and left feeling optimistic. If I could rate Dr. Kann 10 stars, I would. If you’re a parent of an athlete, Tristate Orthopedics and Dr. Kann are your people!

Dr. Kann is an excellent physician for youth pitchers dealing with elbow injuries. We had been struggling with my son’s elbow issue for some time, and he provided a clear diagnosis and effective solution. His office also has a fantastic PA (Ryne Paige) who was a former pitcher, which made a big difference in understanding the mechanics and recovery process. We truly appreciate the thoughtful treatment plan and the additional exercises provided to strengthen and protect his elbow.
