About Us
Hess Orthopaedic Center and Sports Medicine, PLC was founded in 1971 by Irvin Hess, MD. In honor of Dr. Hess, and his service to our community, the practice has preserved the original practice name and its mission to provide the most comprehensive orthopedic care in our area.
With the addition of a Podiatric Foot and Ankle Surgeon, Hess Orthopaedics became the only orthopedic practice in our community to offer comprehensive care for injuries and pain from the neck to the toes. Our physicians remain dedicated to providing advanced care through constant training, including minimally invasive surgical procedures.
We have an office-based surgical suite where our surgeons perform outpatient surgeries on-site, giving patients an alternative to the hospital setting. Our focus remains on each individual patient with a primary goal of improving your quality of life, returning you to your normal activities quickly and with as little pain as possible.

Our Mission
Our mission is to provide the very highest level of orthopedic and podiatric care available. Our mission is to provide this with integrity and professionalism, and to serve members of our community.
