About ArthroGuy

Hi, I am Young Jee.  I am your doctor, your friend, and your guide.  You might be a patient or a loved one who is looking for more information on joint replacement on the patient’s behalf. Either way, I welcome you to my website. I would like to introduce you my mission behind creating the ArthroGuy.

From the Greek word arthron, “arthro” is a prefix meaning joint, as in arthroplasty (joint replacement) or arthropathy (painful joint). By putting the word “guy” next to it, ArthroGuy is someone who has expertise on diagnosing and treating painful hip and knee joints but is also a person you can easily approach. I want to provide you a medium through which you can get more information on your conditions. In fact, I have created multiple social platforms where you can read, watch, and listen at your leisure time to what I have to say on various topics.

Clinic visit with me usually lasts only 10 to 20 minutes. I understand that this can be constrained and anxiety provoking. There can be many questions unanswered and concerns not addressed. As your ArthroGuy, I would like to help you to navigate through literature and provide you information that you need to make your own health care decisions.

As stated in my disclaimer, THIS IS NOT A MEDICAL CONSULTATION. This is an educational service only. Please understand that this should NOT be used to replace your physician’s independent judgment based on a face-to-face visit with a health care professional.
