At Grand Rapids Orthopedics, we prioritize conservative treatments first. If surgery is needed, we use minimally invasive techniques like arthroscopic procedures, which involve small incisions, often no larger than a fingertip. For more complex procedures, we offer options like partial outpatient knee replacements, which avoid long hospital stays or extended recovery times. Our team is dedicated to using the latest technologies to ensure your experience is as comfortable and efficient as possible.
One of the most challenging aspects of healthcare is managing out-of-pocket costs.
At Grand Rapids Orthopedics, you have the option to choose our surgical center instead of a hospital-owned facility. By doing so, you can save an average of 40% on coinsurance, copayments, and deductibles.

Exceptional service. Office staff are wonderful to work with. Dr. Vasiu is an OUTSTANDING surgeon. He has completed two surgeries for me with excellent results. He is caring, skilled and very personable. I will be needing a knee replacement down the road and God willing Dr. Vasiu will be my surgeon.

The staff at Grand Rapids Orthopedics was professional and accommodating. Dr. Peter Vasiu is an amazing doctor. You can depend that he won't suggest a surgery if it isn't necessary. I highly recommend getting that knee checked out. - a simple procedure (I had a torn meniscus) and I have full mobility back! I highly recommend Dr. Peter Vasiu!

Dr. Vasiu is the best at what he does!!! I have had both shoulder and knee surgery this year and I can honestly say I wouldn't trust or go anywhere else...He came highly recommended and I will continue to do the same to others. He explains everything very clearly and gives you options that best fit your life....I now have full use of my shoulder and after just 2 weeks with my knee I am very very satisfied! He never rushes you, answers all your questions and is very thorough in explaining all steps necessary to get the results you need/want.

Was in a motorcycle accident in June 2021. Spent 8 months with a different surgeon who couldn’t figure out what was wrong with my shoulder, I broke it, but he kept saying I was completely healed. Dr. V was able to diagnose the problem in 5 mins, got me into surgery very quickly and we realized there was more damage than we originally thought. Dr. V is legit the first doctor that I felt has cared about what I was experiencing and wanted to help. I would recommend him to anyone needing orthopedic help. He is so awesome and his staff are awesome too! Very helpful.
