Richard A. Boe Jr. M.D.
Philosophy of Care
"Having arthritic joint pain or an injury can be scary, and the number of treatment options are often intimidating. My goal is for my patients to feel comfortable and supported as we work together here at Resurgens. I want my patients to get back to the activities that they enjoy most, through treatment options ranging from conservative to operative."
Specialties
Expertise Overview
Dr. Boe is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in adult reconstruction of the hip and knee. Fellowship-trained at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, he provides comprehensive arthritis care using both modern non-operative treatments and advanced surgical techniques.
His approach combines precision, innovation, and evidence-based protocols to optimize outcomes and accelerate recovery. From biologic injections to robotic-assisted joint replacement, Dr. Boe ensures patients receive contemporary solutions tailored to their condition and goals.
Expertise in Hip & Knee Surgery
Arthritis care and total joint replacement have evolved significantly in recent years. Dr. Boe incorporates these innovations into his practice to improve comfort, recovery, and long-term outcomes.
Non-surgical options now include advanced medications, gel injections, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, and modern physical therapy protocols. When surgery becomes the best option, Dr. Boe utilizes minimally invasive techniques and robotic assistance to enhance precision and reduce postoperative discomfort.
Knee replacement surgery now often includes approaches that reduce muscle disruption and allow for faster rehabilitation. For hip replacement, anterior "bikini" incisions help preserve important muscles and tendons, making recovery smoother and more predictable. Many patients are able to recuperate comfortably at home, avoiding extended hospital stays and minimizing recovery times.
Dr. Boe remains committed to staying at the forefront or orthopedic surgery techniques, refining his approach and implementing evidence-based protocols that support safer procedures, rapid recovery pathways, and durable joint function.
