Top Docs: Precision Orthopedics

Those looking for an orthopedic surgeon, look no further. If you’re suffering from knee or joint pain, or a sports injury, Dr. Athens, Dr. Eberhardt, and Dr. Vogel at Precision Orthopedics have you covered.

“Precision Orthopedics specializes in joint replacement, fracture care, and sports medicine.”

Each doctor at Precision Orthopedics brings a significant amount of experience to the table. Dr. Athens has been a board certified orthopedic surgeon for 22 years and did his residency at Midwestern University and the University of Chicago. He dedicated extra time to studying minimally invasive joint replacement surgery, which he has been practicing for the past ten years. “I think it makes a difference,” said Dr. Athens because the procedure can lead to less scarring and a quicker return to daily activities than traditional joint replacement surgery.

Dr. Eberhardt, who specializes in reconstructive surgery and general orthopedics, joined the practice in 2011. Dr. Eberhardt completed his residency at McClaren Mount Clemens and a fellowship in joint revision surgery at Harvard University.

Dr. Vogel, the newest addition to the Precision Orthopedics team, specializes in sports medicine and regularly treats athletes young and old, as well as the average weekend warrior. Dr. Vogel completed his residency at McClaren Mount Clemens and his fellowship at Henry Ford downtown.

Precision Orthopedics specializes in joint replacement, fracture care, and sports medicine. In addition, Dr. Athens treats adult spinal injuries. The office also has physician-supervised physical therapy, X-Ray, and Ultrasound technology on site.

For those needing a joint replacement, Precision Orthopedics are the first in the Downriver area to offer Mako Robotic Technology. This technology provides you with a personalized surgical plan based on your unique anatomy. A CT scan of the affected joint is taken to create a 3D model of your hip or knee. This model is used to pre-plan and assist your surgeon in performing your joint replacement procedure. Said Dr. Athens, “It facilitates a more accurate anatomic placement of the prosthetic joints.” The Mako Robotic Arm is five times more accurate than manual or traditional instruments, and that translates to quicker recovery times for patients. “It helps facilitate a more rapid recovery in terms of the rehabilitation,” said Dr. Athens. This cutting edge technology has revolutionized how hip, knee and partial knee surgeries are performed.

Precision Orthopedics is located at 25755 Telegraph Road in Brownstown. To make an appointment, call 734-782-7003. They accept all major commercial insurance, as well as all Medicare and some Medicaid providers.
