Bio

Dr. Ryan Robertson is a fellowship-trained joint replacement specialist and general orthopedic surgeon.

Dr. Robertson and his team evaluate and treat patients with hip and knee pain arising from arthritis, traumatic injury, and congenital conditions. Dr. Robertson performs both minimally invasive partial and total knee replacements and specializes in the minimally invasive anterior approach total hip while being trained in all total hip approaches. He also evaluates and treats patients with previous total joints with persistent pain or complications. He performs both short stay and outpatient joint replacements.

Dr. Robertson grew up in Richmond, where he attended St. Christopher’s School.

Patient Testimonials

“I was concerned when Dr. Robertson said the anterior procedure would be used for my hip replacement. Dr. Jessup did my right hip earlier with the posterior procedure and it was successful. Cannot say enough good things about Dr. Robertson and the anterior procedure, easy, good recovery, very little pain.” – Arlie, anterior total hip replacement
