About Me
Kevin Lindgren, MD is an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in hip and knee joint replacement and preservation care.
“I most often treat conditions of the hip and knee,” Dr. Lindgren shares. “As an orthopedic surgeon, and fellowship-trained hip and knee specialist I strive to help patients restore function and regain lost quality of life. This is done through surgical and non-surgical means. I perform many hip and knee replacements each year. As a specialist, I also see many second opinions and revise them when they may fail. The daily interaction with my patients is the most rewarding part of what I do. I enjoy the discussions about diagnosis and the process of educating and treating the individual. “
