IDAHO FALLS – Dr. Aaron Altenburg was named one of the 65 total knee surgeons you need to know in 2020 by Becker’s ASC Review. Becker’s ASC Review, a national media publication focused on healthcare news and analysis, developed its list through nominations and internal research. Dr. Altenburg, who practices in Idaho Falls and Pocatello, was the only surgeon from Idaho named to the list.
“It is an honor to be recognized by Becker’s ASC Review and be included among such a talented group of surgeons from across the country,” said Dr. Altenburg. “I love helping my patients get back to their everyday routines. Total knee surgeries have advanced so much over the last decade and I have worked hard to make sure patients in the Eastern Idaho and beyond have access to the latest in surgical innovation.”
