Specialties

OrthoVirginia Offices

Dr. Kevin Pinkos is a board-certified and fellowship-trained hip and knee replacement specialist.  Before making the transition to OrthoVirginia, he spent almost 16 years on active duty in the U.S. Navy, including serving as the Chair of the Navy’s largest Department of Orthopedic Surgery.  He remains a Navy Reservist, and as a long-time resident of Hampton Roads, especially enjoys taking care of current and former military service members, their families, and all affiliated with the DoD.  As a joint replacement subspecialist, Dr. Pinkos finds it most rewarding to be able to give patients their quality of life back, allowing them to return to the activities that they enjoy most.  In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and 3 children, including volunteering at the kids’ sporting events.  He also enjoys cycling, hiking, fishing, golf and participating in triathlons.
