Joint Replacement
Joint replacement surgery removes damaged joint components and replaces them with prosthetic parts made of metal, plastic, or ceramic. We specialize in knee, hip, and shoulder replacements for patients with severe arthritis or joint damage. Our comprehensive approach includes pre-operative education classes, advanced surgical techniques, and structured rehabilitation programs to maximize mobility and reduce pain.
Hand Therapy
Our certified hand therapists provide specialized rehabilitation for upper extremity conditions. Services include custom splinting, nerve injury treatment, and post-surgical recovery programs. We address conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and fractures using evidence-based techniques to restore function and reduce discomfort through non-surgical interventions.
MRI Services
We coordinate MRI services through local facilities with complete insurance authorization support. Our streamlined process ensures timely access to diagnostic imaging while handling all insurance pre-authorization requirements. Patients receive assistance scheduling appointments and follow-up consultations to review imaging results with their orthopedic specialist.
Fracture Care
Our fracture treatment includes both non-surgical management with casting/bracing and surgical interventions using internal fixation techniques. We treat all fracture types including complex cases requiring external fixation. The care process begins with immediate evaluation, includes appropriate imaging, and follows through with personalized recovery plans incorporating physical therapy when needed.
Sports Medicine
We specialize in treating sports-related injuries including ligament tears, tendonitis, and joint instability. Our approach combines conservative treatments like physical therapy with advanced surgical options when necessary. We work closely with athletes of all levels to develop return-to-play protocols and provide comprehensive care for both acute injuries and chronic overuse conditions.

I met with Dr. Owen McConville for a shoulder injury. He diagnosed a rotator cuff tear confirmed by MRI. A couple of weeks later he performed surgery to repair the tear. Both he and the staff were excellent.

I have been seeing Dr. Seidman for some back, shoulder, and wrist injuries sustained in auto accident. He has been nothing but awesome! He listens and is concerned about my concerns. He understands that I want to get back to work but understands also that I can not give it 100% yet as I am still healing. He is not dismissive with my concerns, listens to the patient! Thanks Dr. Seidman!

The staff is very thorough and professional. Usually on time and happy to answer questions. With their own surgery center, they are incredibly attentive and really have some great people. I have had three rotator cuff procedures and both knees replaced. I know what I'm talking about.

This was my third surgery with Dr. McConville and so far, as with my previous surgeries, my results have been fantastic! I couldn't recommend him more for shoulder and elbow issues! I had been visiting for over a year trying to manage my elbow pain, however it finally came down to the surgical management. Throughout the entire process, the staff was fantastic from the office visits to the staff in the surgical department.
The pre-op and post op staff were not only professional, but extremely attentive to ensuring that all was well in recovery! To Courtney, Julie, Linda, Michaela, Melissa and those i may have missed thank you for taking such great care!
