Orthopedic Spotlight: Dr. Ronald Lederman
Lederman Kwartowitz Center for Orthopedics and Sports Medicine
Dr. Ronald Lederman
Lederman Kwartowitz: Center for Orthopedics and Sports Medicine represents the finest care you are likely to find for a long list of treatments. Located in SouthEast Michigan this practice cares for patients from all over the United States.
This orthopedic practice is dedicated to providing you and your family with the finest orthopedic care available, including fractures, athletic injuries, and chronic conditions. We serve patients ranging from pediatrics to geriatrics in West Bloomfield and Farmington Hills, Michigan and the surrounding areas of Oakland County such as Commerce Township, Walled Lake, Farmington, Southfield, in addition to travelers from other states.
LKO specializes in arthroscopic surgery and joint replacement of the knee, hip, and shoulder, using minimally invasive surgical procedures and MLS laser therapy to reduce pain and recovery time. MLS laser therapy kick starts the healing process after surgery and benefits patients with chronic pain and swelling. Additionally, the staff has extensive experience helping patients with automobile-related injuries.
The LKO team includes three orthopedic surgeons with a reputation for excellence – Dr. Ronald S. Lederman, Dr. Mark Kwartowitz, and Dr. Collin O’Keefe. The doctors work in conjunction with the physical therapy team that is located in the same office to provide the most comprehensive care.
Dr. Ronald Lederman
Dr. Ronald Lederman received his undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. He is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with an additional one year of fellowship training in lower extremity orthopedics.
Practicing since 1994, Dr. Lederman is a leader in general orthopedics, including sports medicine, arthroscopy, and joint replacement surgery. He specializes in foot, ankle, and knee surgery, including minimally invasive total and partial knee replacements, and he has extensive experience treating shoulder and hand conditions, including rotator cuff tears and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Dr. Lederman uses the latest technology and minimally invasive surgical procedures to reduce downtime and pain and return patients to the activities they enjoy. He and Dr. Kwartowitz are the first orthopedic surgeons in a major metropolitan area throughout the country exclusively providing MLS laser therapy.

Stem Cell Treatment Innovations
Many clinics offering Stem Cell Therapy, or Regenerative Medicine, are using cord blood or the patient’s bone marrow. The Stem Cell Therapy treatment option at LKO is different because it is minimally invasive and contains an estimated 1.1 Million mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSCs are the primitive cells that have the ability to turn into a specific type of cell, such as bone or cartilage.
Studies have shown that cord blood does not contain mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), limiting the healing potential of the treatment.
As we age, the reparative mechanisms of our cells are often no longer as effective, therefore, obtaining MSCs from a biologically young source instead of the patient’s own bone marrow, means that the stem cell therapy at LKO has the potential to be more successful. And this treatment applies to many conditions.
- Sports Injuries
- Arthritis
- Tendonitis
- Stress Fractures
- Damaged or Deteriorating Cartilage
- Joint Pain
- Acute Ligament & Muscle Injuries
