Why Patients Choose Dr. Chris Hoedt

Meet

Dr. Chris Hoedt Orthopaedic Surgeon Hip & Knee Replacement Specialist

My goal is not simply to replace a joint—it is to help you regain the moments that matter most to you. As a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and fellowship-trained hip and knee replacement specialist, I perform hundreds of joint replacements each year, including complex cases and revision surgery. But your care begins with listening: understanding how pain affects your life, what you have been missing, and what you hope to do again. Together, we will explore your options and build a plan around your needs—not just your X-rays. When surgery is the right choice, my approach goes beyond the operating room, emphasizing preparation, your overall health, and clear guidance throughout recovery. Whether you want to stay active at work, keep up with your family, or enjoy the outdoors here in Eastern North Carolina, my focus is on helping you move with less pain, greater confidence, and more independence.

Is Joint
Replacement
Right for You?

If hip or knee pain has reached the point where walking, climbing stairs, sleeping comfortably, or enjoying everyday activities has become difficult, it may be time to consider a specialist evaluation. Surgery is never the starting point for every patient, but understanding your options early can help prevent further loss of mobility and improve long-term joint function.

A comprehensive consultation includes examination, imaging review, discussion of nonsurgical treatments, and guidance on whether joint replacement or another treatment approach may be appropriate.

Ranked as top 3% nationally as an Orthopedic Revisionist. The physician was spectacular! Knowledgeable, informative and approachable. I travelled 6 hours from out of state for the appointment and worth every mile! I will be traveling again for an additional two trips for pre-op and surgery.
