I gravitated towards joint replacement as it is extremely rewarding to relieve my patients of their arthritis pain and restore their function. I am motivated by my patients’ expectations and constantly strive for clinical excellence. Throughout my practice, I have been involved as an educator. I enjoy educating my patients on their treatment options to help them meet their personal goals. I have a strong interest in robotic joint replacement as I believe this technology allows for improved position, precision and balance for my patients. – Brian Keyes, DO
