Gustav “Gus” Fischer, MDFellowship‑trained hip and knee replacement surgeon
I’m an orthopedic surgeon dedicated to arthritis care and joint replacement of the hip and knee. My practice is built around one goal: help you walk, work, and live with less pain and more confidence.
I use modern techniques - including the Direct Superior approach to hip replacement and robotic‑assisted knee replacement - to protect muscle, improve implant positioning, and support a smoother recovery. Just as important, I’m honest about what surgery can and cannot do, and I work with you to choose the plan that fits your health, goals, and lifestyle.
Care PhilosophyWhat you can expect working with me
- A clear explanation of your diagnosis and options - non‑operative and surgical.
- A realistic discussion of recovery timeline, risks, and expected outcomes.
- A team that helps you prepare well so you can recover as quickly and safely as possible.
