Biography

Kenneth C. Berg, M.D.

General Orthopaedic Surgeon

Dr. Berg is a general orthopaedic surgeon with a special interest in comprehensive fracture care and minimally invasive anterior total hip replacement. He also has a strong interest in total knee and shoulder replacement, including the reverse shoulder replacement. He is also trained in foot procedures, arthroscopic rotator cuff and knee procedures.

His goal is to get you back to doing the things you want to do through either a non-surgical or surgical treatment plan. He says there is no better feeling than seeing his patients achieve improved pain control and function through a plan developed together.

I grew up in Fox River Grove, IL, which is a Northwest suburb of Chicago. However, I grew up a big Packers fan and feel very fortunate to be practicing in Wisconsin! In my free time I enjoy running, playing basketball, golfing, traveling, and enjoying walks with my dog Jordy (named after Jordy Nelson).
