About

Dr. Kane is an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in the care of hip and knee conditions, helping patients find lasting relief from joint pain and stiffness. He treats a wide range of problems, including arthritis, cartilage wear, and degenerative joint disease, with a focus on restoring comfort and mobility in everyday life. His care ranges from conservative options like medication, injections, and physical therapy to advanced surgical solutions, including hip and knee replacement, when other treatments are no longer enough.

Dr. Kane believes every patient deserves a treatment plan built around their needs, whether that means walking without pain, getting back to gardening or travel, or simply keeping up with family. He takes the time to explain each option clearly so patients can make confident decisions about their care. His goal is to help patients regain independence and enjoy a more active, comfortable life.
