Knee Surgeon in Dallas

Dr. Raynor treats the knee injuries that stop people from running, cutting and competing: ACL and meniscus tears, kneecap dislocations, cartilage damage and the rest of the list below. Most are managed without surgery. When an operation is the right answer, he explains why and follows the recovery through.

He does not perform knee replacements. Patients with advanced arthritis are seen and, when the time comes, referred to the joint replacement surgeons in his group.
