Health Pros: Improving Quality of Life for People with Hip and Knee Pain
Drs. Thomas McCoy and Jeffrey M. Kerina Improve Quality of Life for People with Hip and Knee Pain
Personalized care strategy unique to your needs.
NOVA Hip & Knee Center is led by two world-class orthopedic surgeons, Dr. Thomas McCoy and Dr. Jeffrey M. Kerina. Both are known for their contribution to surgical advancements in joint replacement surgery, having:
- Combined 65+ years of hip and knee replacement specialization
- Completed more than 35,000 hip and knee replacement surgeries
- Designed and developed multiple hip and knee implants that are utilized worldwide
UNOVA Hip & Knee Center is an industry leader in outpatient joint replacement surgery for Medicare patients.
For over twenty years, Drs. McCoy and Kerina have focused on individualized care specific to the Medicare population, in Charlotte, North Carolina, as a founding partner of OrthoCarolina for Dr. McCoy, and in Lake and Sumter Counties as a founding partner in Tri-County Orthopedics and UNOVA Hip & Knee Center for Dr. Kerina.

Through their passion for continually improving “the process” and delivery of orthopedic care, and the hard lessons learned from navigating the pandemic, the UNOVA Hip & Knee Center has evolved from an inpatient surgery-focused clinic to an outpatient focused clinic, providing outpatient kinematic alignment total knee, high-performance partial knee, and direct anterior hip replacements to the community.
Drs. McCoy and Kerina’s goal is to understand each patient’s unique surgical expectations and meet those by determining the proper procedure, maximizing the return of function, and shortening the recovery time.
“We are entrusted to care for a very special population here in Central Florida, our seniors over the age of sixty-five. It is imperative that we ensure our patients’ safety, while delivering the best possible outcomes for their health and quality of life,” stated Dr. Kerina. “Remembering that the vast majority of our seniors have chosen to be here because they want to continue to be involved in an active lifestyle, is why we utilize kinematic alignment total knee, high-performance partial knee, and direct anterior hip replacements. These procedures have a long, proven history of rapid recovery and increased functional return.”
