Get to know Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Kantor, who serves patients in Santa Clarita, California.

An orthopedic surgeon fellowship trained in sports medicine and joint replacement surgery, Dr. Kantor is the President of Kantor Orthopedics in Santa Clarita, California. 

For well over a decade, he has enjoyed being a part of the community and continues to provide unparalleled care to his patients. His practice covers general orthopedic surgery – sprains, strains, fractures, sports injuries, work-related injuries, personal injury cases, arthroscopy, knee replacements, and arthritis care.

Patients of Kantor Orthopedics have benefited from technological advances in orthopedic surgery and sports medicine such as joint replacement and arthroscopic surgery that allows the surgeon to look inside a joint. The practice is committed to quality care and strives to provide the best in orthopedic surgery, sports medicine, knee replacement and other bone and joint related services, seeing patients on a same-day or next-day basis.

Graduating from Duke University with a Degree in Mechanical Engineering and Material Science, Dr. Kantor went to work for Zimmer Orthopedics, designing hip and knee replacements with a focus on surgical instrumentation before going on to medical school.

After completing his medical studies at Albany Medical College, he performed a residency in orthopedic surgery at Washington University in St. Louis and a year fellowship in joint replacement surgery in San Diego. He also completed a sports medicine fellowship at Stanford University, spending one year with the San Francisco 49ers and San Francisco Giants.

An esteemed member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, Dr. Kantor is board certified in orthopedic surgery by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery (ABOS). The ABOS is an organization with the goal of establishing educational and professional standards for orthopedic residents and surgeons as well as evaluating the qualifications and competence of orthopedic surgeons.

Orthopedic surgery is the branch of surgery concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic surgeons use both surgical and non-surgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, spine diseases, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders.
