Dr. Michael Kuhn, MD

Dr. Michael Kuhn, MD

Hip and Knee Surgeon
505 Willard Ave, Newington, CT
4.74
“I was feeling really nervous about seeing the DR. I had never met him before and had worked in surgery as a surgical technologist for many years and assisted in many orthopedic procedures. This experience contributed to my nervousness. When Dr Kuhn he walked into the room he reached his hand out to shake mine and introduced himself and smiled. He immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease. When he talked about my X-rays he again assured me of the possible treatments I might need to have. He explained what the problem with my knee was. He also explained that the surgical procedures have changed since I worked there many years ago.”

About Dr. Michael Kuhn

Dr. Michael Kuhn is a sports medicine surgeon with a 27-year career of distinguished military service in the United States Navy where he served with distinction achieving the rank of Commander. He served as the Chief of Orthopaedics while stationed at the Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, and in support of Operation Enduring Freedom at the Expeditionary Medical Facility in Kuwait. He served as the Assistant Residency Director of Orthopaedic Surgery at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland – The President’s Hospital. Dr. Kuhn has provided athletic medical care at all levels from recreational leagues to pro athletes, including his time as assistant team physician for the U.S. Naval Academy. Dr. Kuhn has a passion for the treatment of athletes of all ages and arthroscopic surgery including the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, and ankle. He routinely performs advanced cartilage restoration procedures returning athletes to the highest level of function and preserving joints to avoid joint replacement surgeries. Dr. Kuhn treats patients both non-operatively and operatively for shoulder, hip and knee pain such as rotator cuff instability, knee ligament and meniscal tears and hip injuries. Dr. Kuhn performed the first MACI in the state of Connecticut. This procedure utilizes a patient’s own cartilage cells to grow new cells. It then reimplants the cells in the injured joint. Understanding the advantages of arthroscopic repair, Dr. Kuhn developed an all arthroscopic technique for this procedure and was the first to perform this technique in the country. His innovation led to this technique being adopted by orthopedic surgeons across the country as well as the development of advanced arthroscopic techniques to make this a reproducible, reliable, and effective procedure for patients. In 2013, Dr. Kuhn was recognized as the Federal Health Care Physician of the Year.

Dr Kuhn and the staff were professional and kind. I got an X-ray but didn’t have to wait at all. The office is well run.
I would definitely return to this practice. Everyone was friendly, positive, patient and helpful!

Excellent Doctor!

I saw this doctor the first time I thought I finally found a great doctor. Then went for testing and had a follow up appointment booked for me at a different office, I get their 9 minutes late and the front desk tells me that Dr. Kuhn has a strict 7 min window he follows that if you are not there within, you will need to rebook your appointment for another time...uh, no I will need to find a new doctor. Be forewarned, if you are going to be more than 7 minutes late, don't bother even going, if you get stuck in traffic, doesn't matter, after 7 minutes doctor will not see you! The staff what great to deal with, they cannot say anything about it but they totally get it.
