Fellowship-Trained, Board-Certified Orthopaedic Surgeon
Nicholas B Frisch, MD | MBA — Hip and Knee Replacement Surgeon in Metro Detroit
Dr. Nicholas B. Frisch is a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon in Metro Detroit, Michigan, who specializes exclusively in hip and knee replacement. His practice focuses on outpatient total joint replacement, anterior and mini-posterior hip replacement, robotic-assisted knee replacement, and complex primary and revision hip and knee surgery. He completed his Adult Reconstruction Fellowship at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago and practices at the Center for Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Auburn Hills, Michigan, serving patients throughout Oakland County and southeast Michigan.
A Personalized Approach to Joint Replacement
Dr. Frisch and his team are committed to a personalized experience with the highest level of service, from the first visit through full recovery. Every operation is planned around the individual patient rather than a single default technique. For total hip replacement, Dr. Frisch performs either a direct anterior or a mini-posterior approach, selected based on each patient’s anatomy, prior surgery, and activity goals. For knee replacement, he uses robotic-assisted surgery with 3D preoperative planning to reproduce the surgical plan with precision.
Most patients qualify for outpatient joint replacement and go home the same day as surgery. Recovery is supported by a structured pathway that begins before the operation and continues at home with remote monitoring, allowing for a rapid recovery and a faster return to normal activity.
Dr. Frisch also specializes in complex primary and revision hip and knee replacement, including failed, loose, infected, or worn implants. For revision surgery involving significant bone loss or deformity, he uses 3D planning from the patient’s own imaging to design custom, patient-specific implants. Technology is a tool, not the point: he adopts a platform only where the evidence shows it improves accuracy, safety, or recovery.
Education and Training
Dr. Frisch was born and raised in Michigan and graduated from Detroit Country Day School. He attended the University of Vermont, earned a Master of Science in Medical Science at Loyola University Chicago, and then earned his MD and an MBA in Healthcare Management at Tufts University School of Medicine, where he received the Norman S. Stern MD|MBA Award for excellence in academics and leadership.
He completed his orthopaedic surgery residency at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, where he was actively involved in clinical research and won several local and regional awards for both clinical research and the use of innovative technology in health care. Upon completing his training, he received the Outstanding Resident Award.
Dr. Frisch then completed his Adult Reconstruction Fellowship in hip and knee replacement at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois, where he was selected as a Health Policy Fellow for the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS). He is certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery.
Leadership, Research, and Advocacy
Dr. Frisch is a national advocate for legislative policy that protects patients’ access to joint replacement and the joint replacement community. He serves on the AAHKS Advocacy Committee and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) OrthoPAC Advisory Board. He has served on the Michigan Orthopaedic Society (MOS) Board of Directors and as its representative to the AAOS Board of Councilors (BOC), on the BOC State Orthopaedic Society Committee, and has been nominated as Member-at-Large to the BOC Executive Committee.
He is a co-author of peer-reviewed research in The Journal of Arthroplasty on hip and knee replacement reimbursement and orthopaedic surgeon compensation. Locally, he has served as Vice-Chief of Surgery and then Chief of Surgery at Henry Ford Rochester Hospital.
Where Dr. Frisch Sees Patients
Dr. Frisch sees patients at the Center for Advanced Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine in Auburn Hills, Michigan, and treats patients from Auburn Hills, Rochester Hills, Rochester, Lake Orion, Oxford, Troy, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, and throughout Oakland County and Metro Detroit.

Research & Publications
Critically evaluating new technology is critical in orthopaedics. But the best technology in the world only works if you have the right team to implement it effectively. Want to thank my OR staff for taking the time to actively participate in our evaluations and give thoughtful feedback. I'm fortunate to work with a very talented and passionate team here at Ascension Providence Rochester and their dedication never ceases to impress me!
Clinical Research & Health Policy
Dr. Frisch completed his Adult Reconstruction Fellowship at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois. It was there that he was selected as a Health Policy Fellow for the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons.
Dr. Frisch's clinical research interests focus on the treatment of hip and knee degenerative disease, implant design, corrosion and perioperative patient optimization.
