## Matt Frederichs MD & Alex Lunnenborg PA-C

After 20 years in a multi-specialty setting, Dr. Friederichs opened OrthoDakota to focus on patient-centered orthopedic care. At OrthoDakota, patients are not just numbers—from the initial clinic visit to the final post-operative check-up, the team provides personalized care and attention while employing state-of-the-art medical care and technology.

Their full suite of offerings includes cutting-edge pain relief procedures and imaging, as well as advanced MAKO robotic arm-assisted total knee and total shoulder joint replacement. CT-based robotic arm procedures can provide unmatched precision and adaptability.

Dr. Friederichs performs quadricep muscle-sparing total knee replacements.

Dr. Friederichs, a University of North Dakota Medical School graduate, completed his orthopedic surgery residency and fellowship at the University of Utah.

Alex Lunneborg, a skilled Physician Assistant, joined in May 2023, bringing expertise in ultrasound-guided injections and diagnostics. He's also trained in an advanced ultrasound-guided pain-relieving technique—lovera.

OrthoDakota moved into the new Rivers Bend Medical Center in January 2024, which gives them a greater ability to provide same-day surgery and recovery at home.
