Atlanta, GA (October 19, 2019) -- The Arthritis Foundation was proud to recognize North Fulton resident Dr. Jon Minter as this year’s Medical Honoree at the 2019 Crystal Ball. Dr. Minter is an orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee arthritis with Arthritis & Total Joint Specialists who practices at the Northside-Forsyth Campus. Dr. Minter takes pride in the well-being of his patients and seeks to restore their quality of life.

“Dr. Minter offered me world-class treatment options and performed two successful painstakingly long surgeries,” says Sanju Sethumadhavan of Alpharetta, Georgia. “His relentless passion towards his patients and quality outcomes has helped me and my family gain back our confidence.”

“I am honored to be working with the Arthritis Foundation to raise funds that support programs aimed at making the lives of people living with arthritis better,” says Dr. Minter. “In Georgia alone, there are nearly 2 million people, including 10,000 kids, living with arthritis. The funds raised from the Crystal Ball support Arthritis Foundation’s programs, research and advocacy initiatives to help people today while finding a cure for tomorrow.”

Dr. Minter brings nearly two decades of experience practicing in Georgia, and has held numerous leadership roles, most recently serving as the director of an orthopaedic residency program in Tennessee. Dr. Minter offers robotic procedures for highly complex arthritic disease of the hip and knee, as well as specialized services for the management of failed joint replacement surgery. He has lectured both nationally and internationally on hip and knee arthroplasty and is published extensively in peer-reviewed journals. A thought leader in orthopaedic surgery, Dr. Minter has designed knee and hip implants for both simple and complex surgical procedures associated with arthritic disease.

Dr. Minter and his wife Konni have been dedicated volunteers and supporters of the Arthritis Foundation for many years, with Dr. Minter currently serving on the Georgia Leadership Board.
