Evaluation & Treatment
How We Diagnose Knee Osteoarthritis
Initial evaluation of knee osteoarthritis includes a medical history, physical examination, and x-rays. X-rays will show joint space narrowing and possibly bone spurs.
Nonsurgical
Treatment for knee osteoarthritis is symptom based. Initial treatment of knee osteoarthritis includes weight loss, stretching, low-impact activity, anti- inflammatory creams or medications, and glucosamine and chondroitin. Joint injections may also be considered which include corticosteroids or viscosupplements.
Surgical
If symptoms are more severe partial or total knee replacement may be considered. The majority of knee replacements are done as an inpatient surgery and expected recovery is several months to pain free walking.

Carrie K.
Dr. Argintar is quick and efficient and attentive at the same time. I was brought in before my insurance paperwork was even done! He had clearly read (or had been briefed on) my file and I think I was in and out of there in less than 20 mins from the time I walked in the door. Highly recommend.
Hannah C.
Dr. Argintar, his assistant and the receptionists were incredibly friendly and on-time. I felt heard and listened to, and would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a professional and personable doctor and team.
Adam A.
Dr. Argintar was quick and to the point. He was able to identify the injury and recommend what I need to do to begin the healing process. He listened to what I had to say and was able to get me out in a timely manner.
Natalie P.
Dr Argintar was very knowledgeable and helped me understand a bit more of what was causing pain. He was open to listening to me and gave great suggestions on what I should be doing to minimize pain. Will definitely see him again for my follow up.
Pamela W.
I was most impressed by Dr Argintar’s understanding and enthusiastic support of my goal of returning to active participation in my sport, though I am an over-50 athlete. Dr Argintar was prompt, direct and took the time to explain my injury and route to recovery. As his patient, I felt respected and informed.
Sean G.
Dr. Argintar was very personable, explained what was going in with my injury, talked me through treatment options, and proposed a treatment plan that worked with my schedule. Great, quick visit.
