Dr. Thomas V. King has reached a monumental milestone at the beginning of 2025, surpassing 20,000 joint replacement surgeries across knee, hip, and shoulder procedures since opening his practice in 2003. A Harvard-educated surgeon with decades of expertise, Dr. King has not only transformed the lives of thousands of patients but also advanced the field of orthopedic surgery through his pioneering techniques. His groundbreaking work in same-day total joint replacement and rapid recovery protocols has redefined the standard of care, enabling patients to walk, climb stairs, and return home within hours of surgery—achieving recovery outcomes in mere weeks that once took months. His meticulous approach, from cutting-edge surgical methods to personalized rehabilitation plans, has set a new benchmark for excellence in joint replacement surgery.
Beyond his surgical mastery, Dr. King’s influence extends globally. As a Harvard Medical School faculty member, he has mentored the next generation of orthopedic surgeons, conducted pioneering research on joint durability, and introduced total knee replacement techniques to Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic. His leadership in international medical missions has brought life-changing care to underserved communities in Ecuador. Reaching the 20,000-surgery milestone in early 2025—just over two decades since founding his practice— Dr. King’s career stands as a testament to innovation, education, and unwavering dedication to restoring mobility and improving lives.
