Snibbe Orthopedics

Snibbe Orthopedics operates as a boutique, out-of-network practice. Dr. Snibbe does not bill insurance directly, which allows him the freedom to use the most advanced techniques without restrictions. The practice discusses all fees transparently during your consultation. Where applicable, the team assists patients with out-of-network insurance paperwork.

Dr. Snibbe keeps his patient volume low so he can give every case the time and attention it deserves. Smaller volume means he can deliver a fully personalized recovery process for each patient. This is a deliberate part of how he practices, not a byproduct of his schedule.

Dr. Snibbe treats the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee. His surgical capabilities include robotic total hip, knee, and shoulder arthroplasty, as well as a wide range of arthroscopic procedures. He also handles conditions of the rotator cuff, labrum, ACL, meniscus, and tendons across these joints.

No. Dr. Snibbe takes a conservative approach and works to avoid surgery whenever a patient's condition allows. He offers non-surgical treatments and biologic therapies, including ultrasound-guided PRP injections. He evaluates each case individually and recommends surgery only when other options have been exhausted or are unlikely to provide adequate relief.

Robotic joint replacement uses robotic-assisted technology to improve surgical precision during joint replacement procedures. Dr. Snibbe performs robotic total hip, total knee, and total shoulder arthroplasty. His fellowship training specifically included robotic joint reconstruction, and this is one of his core areas of expertise.

Dr. Snibbe treats professional athletes, performers, and active patients who want a high level of personalized orthopedic care.
