Edward J. McPherson, MD

What this record establishes

The authenticated AAHKS directory lists this surgeon as a member, and CMS published hip or knee replacement services under this surgeon's NPI.

What still needs verification: years in practice, board certification and current all-payer annual volume. An unmet criterion is never a finding against a surgeon: CMS publishes only the Medicare half of a practice, and a credential nobody has documented is unknown, not absent.

How each fact was established

Joint-replacement fellowship — source not yet found

Adult reconstruction fellowship — Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic. The cited page was read and does not state this fellowship. The claim came from a search result, and a source that states it has not been found yet.

Snippet: completed a Fellowship in Total Joint Arthroplasty and Adult Reconstruction at Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic (1991-1992); UCLA Health surgeon in Santa Monica.

Years in practice

Years in independent practice have not been resolved from a reviewed source.

Joint replacement volume

42 primary hip and knee replacements were published under this NPI in 2024 Original Medicare fee-for-service claims (13 hip, 29 knee). That is a lower bound: cash and commercially insured cases are published nowhere, for anyone. Below 100, the file proves nothing about total volume, because the rest of a practice is not in it.

Current Medicare participation: not determined

CMS published Original Medicare joint-replacement services for this surgeon in 2024, but historical claims do not prove current participation.

AAHKS membership

Listed in the authenticated AAHKS member directory as Fellow Member.

Board certification

American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery certification is not covered by the retained dataset and has not been checked.
