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: 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 — St Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital. 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.

Wesley E. Kinzie completed a fellowship in Adult Reconstructive Orthopaedics at St Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital in 1987.

Years in practice

About 39 years, estimated from training dates. The estimate allows six years for residency and fellowship, which is the shortest path there is, so the real figure may be lower.

Joint replacement volume

46 primary hip and knee replacements were published under this NPI in 2024 Original Medicare fee-for-service claims (19 hip, 27 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.

Medicare participation: may accept Medicare assignment

The CMS Doctors & Clinicians file says this clinician may accept Medicare assignment. Confirm participation and assignment for the planned service.

Is this your record?

A surgeon may correct their own page. Sign in as a physician, confirm the NPI on this record, and verify with a code texted to your cell phone. You can then correct the practice, fellowship and start-year fields, or ask for the page to come down. Corrections appear here as stated by you, beside what the public sources show.

Report an error in this record

Anyone may report an error: a patient, a practice, a colleague, or the surgeon. A person reads every report and checks it against a source before anything on the page changes. You can also write to privacy@sherlockhealth.ai.

This is a documented record, not a rating or a recommendation. It carries no stars, scores, ranks or badges. Every fact names its source and the date it was read; a fact nobody has documented reads “not yet documented,” which is a gap in the record and never a finding about the surgeon. Whether a surgeon is right for you is decided in an examination, by you and them.
