General Orthopedic Practice in Malden & Stoneham, MA

Injuries to your joints, ligaments, muscles and bones are a fact of life. Whether you’ve strained your shoulder pitching a softball, turned your ankle chasing the dog downstairs or need some new options for an arthritic knee, our experienced medical team of board-certified orthopedic surgeons and therapists will treat you with the latest procedures – and with the utmost care.

Interventions don’t always involve surgery. In fact, treatment frequently consists of an injection, bracing, medication, further radiologic studies, rest or a course of physical or occupational therapy.

Shoulder Instability

The shoulder has a greater range of motion than any other joint in the body. Think of a professional baseball pitcher with his arm twisted backwards as he prepares to release the ball at 90-mile-per-hour fastball or a gymnast as she…

Is It Ok to Run Hurt?

A piece in the New York Times entitled When It’s Ok to Run Hurt offered some strange advice. It advocates exercising while injured. In fact, the article encourages you to “ take one anti-inflammatory pill, like an aspirin. Ice the area for…

Osteoarthritis

If you’re an athlete this is the place to go. These people really know what they’re doing. I went here for a torn MCL a month ago. They x-rayed my knee as soon as I got there. Dr. Zahner is as professional as they come, very straight forward and helpful. Would’ve been a very long road to recovery had I not found this place.

Agility Orthopedics are great! I followed Dr. Zahner to Agility from where he was before at North Suburban Orthopedics! Everyone at Agility is very professional and very nice and are willing to answer any questions you may have! This was not the case at the other place! I would recommend Agility to anyone!

I was treated by Chase Conway for an issue with my elbow, and I can confidently say he was extremely professional throughout the entire process. He was direct and focused on exactly what I needed, always demonstrating precision and a clear understanding of what he was doing. He took great care of my elbow, which was a major concern for me, and his expertise made all the difference.

First visit. Dr. Sherman was kind, compassionate, an active listener to my concern/issue, and had excellent patient/provider relations. He discussed the treatment plan and walked me through the whole procedure. Above and beyond his knowledge, his exemplary bedside manner should be an example to others.

As always, I enjoyed my visit with Dr Kapassi. He took the time I needed, to listen to my issues, from the last visit I made last year. After asking several questions related to my health, he gave me a few options regarding treatment. I told him I'd like to consider those options. He agreed. At no time did he rush me or made me feel as if I wasting his precious time.

Very pleased with the prompt scheduling and medical guidance from Dr. Zahner, I've been having left hip issues for some time now, 3 months ago I visited a different Dr and was not happy so I went to Dr Zahner for 2nd advice. He was very thorough and offered several helpful scenarios, (not a potential hip replacement) 5 Stars and 2 thumbs up from this 63 year old triathlete!

I have been going to Agility Orthopedics for years now. As a Disabled Veteran, I refused to be seen at the VA. These are the people I trust to complete their due diligence when helping patients, taking our concerns to heart and ensuring patients safety/health are priority 1!! Highly Recommend!!

Dr. Anderson was able to see the actual problem I had within minutes that other doctors I had seen were unable. He's super friendly and the physical treatments he had me doing has helped me enormously. I can't say enough nice things about the man.
