Chris Hoedt, MD Hip & Knee Reconstruction Specialist
Dr. Hoedt specializes in hip and knee replacement and revisions (redos). His fellowship was in Adult Reconstruction at the University of Pennsylvania. He enjoys doing research and helps select articles for publication in some of the top adult reconstruction journals. Dr. Hoedt practiced in Nashville, TN for a couple of years before deploying with the US Army. He is a US Army combat veteran who returned from Syria in early 2023 where he was awarded an Army Commendation Medal.
He believes in an individualized approach to the management of hip and knee conditions. He actively engages the patient and their families in their care plan and incorporates the use of advanced techniques and technologies in a patient-specific fashion.
Outside of work, Dr. Hoedt enjoys spending time with his lovely wife and four amazing children at school events, extracurriculars, trips to the parks and beaches, and visiting family.
