Michael Wilmink, MD
Total Joint & General Orthopedics
Dr. Michael Wilmink is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who has practiced in the Valley for over 21 years.
He is drawn to the unique problem-solving aspects that the field of orthopedic surgery presents. Whether this be through arthroscopic joint reconstruction of shoulder or knee injuries or complex joint replacement of the hip or knee, Dr. Wilmink’s experience in practice will deliver you the outcome that you deserve.
As the surgeon who introduced the anterior hip replacement to Arizona in 2007, Dr. Wilmink feels compelled to introduce new and improved technology to the Phoenix community through his prudent appreciation and judgment of current scientific advancements.
He is a member of the Phoenix Thunderbirds, which allows him to work with other community leaders to raise charitable dollars that exceeded $9 million dollars last year. As an alumnus UCLA All-American Water Polo Player, Dr. Wilmink follows John Wooden’s philosophy of “Work hard, stay humble.”
“At six years old, I decided I wanted to be a “Brain Surgeon”. I obviously didn’t know what that meant at that age. I played water polo from a very young age and at age 15 started playing on the national team. I played on that team through my third year in medical school. We traveled around the world to play and always had our team physicians with us. The exposure to that profession piqued my interest. The sports side of the profession and the daily problem-solving confirmed my decision to go into orthopedic surgery. Nothing ever presents the same in orthopedics.”

Optimize Your Outcome – Dr. Wilmink’s Suggestions
After practicing for over 21 years as an orthopaedic surgeon I have found that it is much easier and less stressful for patients to go through a surgery and recovery when they have an idea of what to expect before they begin their journey. My physician assistant, Adrienne Kelley, and myself have put together these helpful resources for patients undergoing total knee and hip replacement surgery, in order to “Optimize Your Outcome”. Of course there are more questions and topics that will need to be covered when surgery is discussed in the office. Hopefully these files can alleviate some anxiety and allow for a better patient experience.
