Dr. Max Lingamfelter is a board certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee reconstruction (total joint replacement). He attained additional training through a prestigious reconstruction fellowship while at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. This training involves the most up to date and advanced skills in primary joint replacement surgery, such as partial knee replacement (Uni and Patellofemoral replacements), direct anterior hip replacement and robotic assisted total joint reconstruction. Additionally, he provides care for patients with the most complex and challenging total joint problems: post-traumatic arthritis, prior deformity, infections, fractures and failed prior replacement.

During his orthopedic surgical residency at Rowan University – Inspira Health Network campus, he gained extensive experience working alongside surgeons at the renowned Rothman Total Joint Institute. He received his doctorate from the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth Texas. During his undergraduate studies at the University of Houston, he received the distinction of Cum Laude with honors in major, for his research contributions in the field of Biomedical Engineering.

Dr. Max (as he is known in the clinic) has published many papers and given many lectures on the most up to date techniques in joint replacement surgery within the orthopedic community. He is very happy to join iNova in 2024 and has been in practice since 2015. In his spare time, he enjoys going on long hikes with his children, exercising, wood working and music.
