About Orthopaedic Institute
Please Don’t Endure Hours of Travel for Pain Relief.
You can find the orthopedic care you need in your own community. The Orthopaedic Institute of Western Kentucky (OIWK) is the region’s largest musculoskeletal service provider and offers treatment that rivals any found in larger cities.
Brian S. Kern, M.D., K. Brandon Strenge, M.D., and the late Clint P. Hill, M.D. established The Orthopaedic Institute of Western Kentucky in 2009. They saw the need for more surgeons in the area and wanted to increase access to orthopedic care.
The practice grew quickly, attracting more physicians and opening a Main Clinic, a Therapy Center, and a Surgery Center. The Orthopaedic Institute of Western Kentucky currently has nine skilled physicians on staff, along with therapists, athletic trainers, nurses, and medical assistants.
