About The Provider
***FOR OUR WILLITS LOCATION, PLEASE CALL 707-467-5278 TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT WITH DR. CHARPENTIER***
Paul M. Charpentier, MD specializes in minimally invasive hip and knee replacement, arthroscopic surgery and complex reconstruction of the hip, knee and shoulder.
He is an advocate for non-operative treatments but is highly trained in minimally invasive surgery when required. He believes multi-modal pain protocols and post-operative rehab protocols are key to a speedy recovery.
Dr. Charpentier’s expertise also lends itself well when the need arises for surgery and is one of only a small number of providers in Northern California who are trained to provide robotic arm-assisted knee and hip replacement surgery with Mako SmartRobotics™️ that offers the potential for a higher level of patient-specific implant alignment and positioning. This new technology provides procedures to be individually optimized to meet patient’s unique anatomy, enables surgeons to execute with greater accuracy and improves outcomes further for patients.
Dr. Charpentier earned his medical degree from Northeast Ohio Medical University, completed a residency at Michigan State University, followed by a Fellowship at Virginia Commonwealth University, specializing in adult reconstruction and arthroplasty.

I was led into the exam room, the doctor came in, asked me a couple of quick questions, and then said "Nothing shows up on the MRI, so we'll have to wait and see." Then he was gone. Two minutes at most. I had driven over for that? No followup, no suggested course of action? "...to wait and see." Really? Couldn't this have been done over the phone?

Dr Charpentier is an amazing doctor that listens to you and offers suggestions as to help you. I walked in to see him with bone on bone knee and getting ready to take a cruise.
