RESTORE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE

AT BERKS ORTHO, WE ARE MORE THAN BONES & JOINTS

Who We Are

At Berks Ortho, we are more than orthopedic surgeons.

We are a coordinated team of physicians, nurses, physician assistants, and physical therapists working together, from diagnosis through recovery, to help you move comfortably and confidently.

Conveniently located in Suite 3220 of the Doctor’s Office Building at Reading Hospital, we provide comprehensive musculoskeletal care in one connected location. From hip and knee replacement and fracture care to sports medicine, advanced non-surgical treatments, and on-site physical therapy with Freedom Therapies, your care is centered around you.

More Than Treatment. A Clear Plan.

Your care begins with a thorough evaluation and a straightforward treatment plan.

We take time to explain your condition, review your options and answer your questions. Whether treatment involves therapy, medication, advanced non-surgical techniques, or surgery, every step is carefully coordinated.

Our experienced nurses and physician assistants guide you throughout the process, scheduling tests, preparing you for procedures, and supporting you during recovery. You will always know what to expect and who to contact.
