Dr. Knudson and his staff are superior to all other doctors I've ever encountered. I nearly had to talk him into surgery as he is on the conservative side, recommending injections, therapy, etc before proceeding with surgical intervention. I personally know some staff members from the surgery department at Covenant. It is interesting to listen to their points of view because they see things that we as common folk don't. Hands down, unanimous when asking about recommending an orthopedic surgeon, I get the same name, Dr. Knudson.

Dr. Knudson is a great doc. He is extremely busy with a giant caseload but was extremely patient with my many questions. Widely known as an excellent surgeon and honest fair person. Perfectly happy with him and will always recomment him to friends, family and strangers!
