SURGEON STORY

Michael Wertz, MD

Knee replacement mobility is essential for optimum recovery. “If I had to have my own total knee replaced, I would choose the Conformis knee.”

Dr. Wertz graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder in 1978 with a double major in Molecular and Cellular Biology and Business Finance. His medical degree was earned at Case Western Reserve University in 1982. He did an internship in General Surgery at The University of Vermont in 1982-1983. He did his orthopedic surgery training at the University of Vermont from 1983- 1987. Dr. Wertz has recently been board recertified by the American Board of orthopedic surgery in 2009. He is a member of the Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS).

Dr. Wertz is an avid sports enthusiast having competed in skiing, tennis, football, and wrestling. When not performing orthopedic surgery, he continues to pursue skiing, tennis, biking, running and fishing.
