The New Hampshire Knee Center Team

The staff at The New Hampshire Knee Center believes that physical and mental rehabilitation are integrals part of successful recovery, whether it is from a relatively minor injury or from a major reconstruction. Knowing where you are going and what you should be doing during this recovery is vital to your success. As a result, patients should feel confident to contact the NHKC office at any time with questions and concerns. The NHKC modifies exercise programs for each patient, so that optimum recovery is achieved as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The NHKC team is comprised of 3 in-house players as well as numerous other expert healthcare providers. Our onsite team in Holderness consists of the following:
