The right provider for the job

While playing a game of pick-up basketball, 37-year-old St. Joseph resident, Jonathan Paulus noticed some discomfort in his left knee. He began researching a solution to his injury. With multiple recommendations from friends and family members, he made an appointment with orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist, Joseph Farber, MD.


 

“I was excited to learn that Dr. Farber’s previous experience included working with collegiate athletes,” said Jonathan. “He understood that returning to an active lifestyle was my top priority.”
