Arthritis & Joint Replacement Center of Reading: Kevin M. Terefenko MD

Nestled in the heart of Reading, PA, the Arthritis & Joint Replacement Center of Reading: Kevin M. Terefenko MD offers world-class orthopedic surgery and patient care. Led by board-certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kevin Terefenko, this practice specializes in hip and knee replacements, joint preservation, and comprehensive arthritis management. With a strong emphasis on surgical expertise, clear communication, and compassionate follow-through, the Center has become a trusted resource for individuals seeking to restore mobility, reduce pain, and reclaim active lives.

Surgical Expertise & Outstanding Outcomes

Dr. Terefenko’s reputation for excellence in joint replacement surgery is well earned. Patients consistently report life-changing outcomes:

• “Six years have passed with my hip replacement and I am totally blessed to have met Dr. Terefenko!”
• “I was walking without a cane after a week.”

From minimally invasive anterior hip replacements to personalized knee resurfacing, every procedure is grounded in evidence-based techniques and the latest implant technology. The result? Rapid recovery, minimized scarring, and a return to daily activities—often sooner than patients expect.

A Patient-Centered Clinical Environment

From the moment you arrive at the Arthritis & Joint Replacement Center of Reading, you’ll notice the difference. The surgical center itself is spotless, modern, and thoughtfully equipped, instilling confidence the moment you walk through the door. Even the hospital food at our affiliated facility, SIR, has earned unexpected praise: “Imagine hospital food that tastes excellent!”

It’s not just the environment that sets us apart—it’s the people. Every team member, from the front-desk receptionist to our nursing staff, embodies genuine warmth and professionalism. “His friendly staff made me feel comfortable and at ease,” shares one grateful patient. This welcoming atmosphere ensures you feel supported even before your first consultation.

Clear Communication & Personalized Education

Orthopedic decisions can be daunting, which is why Dr. Terefenko and his team prioritize clear, straight-talk consultations. He’ll sit down with you, review your X-rays, and explain exactly what’s going on with your joints:

• “He sat down and went over X-rays showing me exactly what was wrong with my knees.”
• “He gave me information, and I left the consultation with hope and complete confidence.”

Physician assistant Justin Fatula plays a pivotal role, too. Known for his detailed explanations and ongoing support, Justin keeps you informed every step of the way. “Justin said I was doing great and shared what I can expect over the weeks to come,” notes one patient after a three-week post-op visit.

Coordinated Recovery & Follow-Up Support

Recovery doesn’t end when you leave the operating room—it’s just the beginning. Our dedicated postoperative team schedules timely follow-ups, monitors your progress, and coordinates physical therapy to ensure you reach your goals. Patients who once limped from joint pain now report, “After 15 years of limping around, I now walk like a normal person,” and many return to work or favorite activities in record time.

Whether you need guidance on at-home exercises or modifications for daily tasks, you’ll find attentive support that turns the uncertain path to recovery into a roadmap for success.

Convenient Scheduling with Room for Improvement

We know your time is valuable. Many patients rave about our prompt check-in process and minimal wait times: “I never waited more than a few minutes upon appointment arrival time.” That said, we’ve heard feedback about occasional delays—“I arrived at 9 am and did not see a doctor until 10:20 am”—and we’re actively refining our scheduling system to ensure consistency. Your comfort and convenience remain top priorities.
