Munson Orthopedic Institute Areas of Expertise
Each Orthopedic Surgeon at MOI subspecializes in a specific area, so you’re treated by THE expert in knee pain, shoulder mobility, a sports-specific injury, and more. We provide you with as many options as possible to address your pain and mobility, so you can get back to the things you love.

Foot & Ankle
Your feet and ankles are complex parts of your skeletal system. Orthopedists who are subspecialty trained in foot and ankle care offer you a full understanding of how the entire musculoskeletal system is interconnected. They can treat abnormalities of the hip and knee that may affect the foot and ankle, thereby treating the whole patient, not just one specific area of the body.
