“I’m thrilled to be a part of OAH and to be able to offer patients new treatments in minimally invasive and motion preservation surgery,” said Kia. “I’m also honored to be a part of a respected
orthopedic group with an established reputation, and to have partners that are also utilizing innovative technology in our practice.”

replacement surgery for arthritis and I use cutting-edge technology such as 3D preoperative planning software to better visualize the patient’s surgical anatomy and pathology before surgery and to execute complex surgery at a high level using patient-specific implants,” said Olson.

“Even more important, the team at OAH is an incredible group of caring medical professionals and I am honored to join the team,” added Olson.
