When you have pain in your hands, elbows or wrists, get expert care from Dr. Mayron Lichterman, DO, MPH, at Bronson Hand & Elbow Surgery Specialists in Kalamazoo, Mich.

From his time as a young child, through his journey through medical school and specialty training, Dr Russell's parents always supported him. During his elementary and high school years, Dr Russell played sports. Unfortunately, incurred injuries. He spent lots of time with orthopedic physicians and at that point knew he wanted to become an orthopedic surgeon. As a board certified orthopedic surgeon, Dr Russell specializes in joint replacement surgery, sports injuries and trauma. He is amazed how much surgical procedures, such as shoulder replacement surgery, have changed and significantly improved over the years. For the first 24 years of his career, Dr Russell practiced in Lansing and was chairman of the orthopedic department.

Dr Burkhardt’s father was a physician, and from an early age, Dr Burkhardt knew he wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon. The visual nature and mechanics of how things fit together and work as a whole intrigued him and reminded him of how the bones, joints and muscles of the body work together to keep you moving. Dr Burkhardt completed his fellowship in adult joint reconstruction and sports medicine at The Florida Knee & Orthopedic Centers at the University of South Florida. In 2016, Dr Burkhardt performed the region’s first robotics-assisted total knee joint replacement using the Navio Surgical System. Dr Burkhardt is very excited about the future of this technology and what it means for his patients.
