In this episode of Vitals & Voices, we sit down with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Schopp and nurse practitioner Travis Barkmeier to unpack one of the most talked‑about approaches in joint health today—the Jiffy Knee™ procedure and the modern approach to total knee replacement.
Dr. Schopp and Travis share how today’s knee surgeries are less invasive, more efficient, and designed to get patients up and moving faster than ever. From refined surgical approaches to team‑based care, this conversation gives listeners a clear, practical understanding of what to expect—and why so many people are walking away saying, “I should’ve done this years ago.”
