Kuhn, MD, sports medicine and shoulder and knee replacement surgeon at MOSA. “The Newington office is convenient for our existing Hartford-based patients and is next door to outstanding physical therapy services.”

Surgeons practicing at this location are sub-specialized in foot and ankle, hand and upper extremity, hip and knee replacement, orthopedic oncology, spine surgery and sports medicine. The facility is equipped with an x-ray machine offering the convenience of onsite imaging for patients who need it.
