Practice. Dr. David Klein is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon practicing in Bedminster, New Jersey. The latest annual CMS data records 18 knee replacements and 11 shoulder replacements, 29 procedures in all. That is #106 in New Jersey for knee replacement. A Medicare provider since 2013.
Trend. Medicare records run from 2021 to 2024, 4 years. Volume peaked at 50 in 2023 and stands at 29 now. Reporting changes and payer mix can both move that number.
National context. Among 6,612 knee replacement surgeons tracked nationally, 18 procedures is below the national average of 45. Medicare covers part of all joint replacements, so true volume is likely higher.

Verified Medicare Cases
How is this estimated?
Medicare Part B fee-for-service claims are one payer stream among several, and the share they represent differs by procedure. In 2024 it was 23% to 28% for knee replacement, 29% to 37% for shoulder replacement. Each verified count above is divided by its own procedure's range, and the results are added, to estimate total practice volume across all payers. The verified Medicare count is the definitive, audited figure; this is a range derived from published national volume projections, not a measurement, and an individual practice can sit well outside it: how these ranges are derived, and their sources.
