About Michael R. Holland, M.D.

Michael R. Holland, M.D., is an orthopedic surgeon with 30 years in private practice and more than 20,000 surgeries performed. His practice centers on hip and knee replacement, from first-time replacements done through smaller, muscle-sparing techniques to the complex revision and infection cases that need a specialist.

Dr. Holland came to medicine by way of engineering. He earned a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering from the University of Louisiana and completed premedical studies at the University of New Orleans. He then earned his medical degree from the LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans, followed by an internship at Charity Hospital and an orthopedic surgery residency at LSU.

That engineering background still shapes his work. A replaced joint is a mechanical system, and alignment, balance and fit determine how well it moves and how long it lasts.

Every treatment plan starts with you: your health, your goals and what you want to get back to. Dr. Holland pairs modern techniques, like the anterior approach to the hip and robotic-assisted knee replacement, with rapid recovery protocols that help patients get moving sooner. Many patients are up and walking the same day as surgery.

Dr. Holland also believes good care shouldn’t hinge on a number on the scale or on a surgery that didn’t go as planned. Patients with a higher body weight, a failed replacement or an infected joint get the same careful planning and honest guidance as everyone else.
