More than a physician, a partner.

The most important thing you can do to help manage osteoarthritis knee pain is find the right doctor, someone who can:

  • Work with you to develop a long-term treatment plan

Who typically provides Synvisc-One?

Synvisc-One® (hylan G-F 20) is often provided by a doctor specifically trained to diagnose and treat arthritis. If you are seeing a primary care physician, ask about seeing a specialist, such as:

An Orthopedic Surgeon — The most common specialist patients see for osteoarthritis knee pain. They have expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of the conditions related to the body's musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, ligaments, muscles and nerves.

A Rheumatologist — They specialize in treating conditions that affects joints, muscles and bones, and they typically treat arthritis, certain autoimmune diseases, musculoskeletal pain disorders and osteoporosis.

Remember, you are your own best advocate. If you feel your concerns aren’t being answered, or you don’t agree with a doctor’s recommendation, say so or get a second opinion. Be persistent and take control of your knee health.

PLEASE NOTE: The list of doctors provided is for information purposes only. Genzyme Corporation is not suggesting that the physicians listed should be substituted for any physician you may consult. Though these physicians may administer Synvisc-One, they have not received specialized training from Genzyme Corporation, and we cannot guarantee that they will provide you with Synvisc-One therapy.
