We do our best for our patients every day, and it is both gratifying and humbling to be recognized for it.”

It is very nice to know that we are valued in return.” Dr. Stephen Koss, an OINJ board certified orthopedic surgeon, is fellowship-trained in sports medicine and has been recognized as one of America’s Top Physicians in Orthopedic Surgery for many years.
Dr. Kevin White, board certified in orthopedic surgery and fellowship-trained in foot and ankle surgery, with expertise in ankle fractures, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles disorders, among others, sums it up, saying, “Our practice is diverse, and it reflects the population here.
