Stairs hurt. Getting out of a chair takes effort. You may be planning your day around what your knee will let you do. At our Somerville office, a personal evaluation helps you understand what may be contributing to the problem.
Whether you have been told you have knee arthritis, a meniscus tear, tendonitis, or bursitis—or you are looking for your first answers—Dr. Cordima reviews your history and examination to discuss whether non-surgical care here may be appropriate.
Start with a conversation about your concerns and next steps.
Tell us what your knee pain is keeping you from doing. Your first visit starts with listening and a personal evaluation.
Serving Somerville and welcoming patients from Greater Boston and the North Shore.
Patients often tell Dr. Cordima: “It hurts going down stairs.” “It clicks and feels unstable.”
You may already have an arthritis diagnosis, an old injury, or knee pain that keeps returning. Your examination helps us understand what is happening and which next steps fit your needs.

The goal is practical: less discomfort, better movement, and more confidence in everyday activities. Your first visit helps us understand your knee concerns and whether care here may be right for you.
Dr. Cordima checks swelling, range of motion, and the ligaments and meniscus with hands-on tests. He also examines your hip, foot, and pelvis to understand how movement and support above and below the knee may affect it. When indicated, digital X-rays help assess joint space and arthritic changes.
Dr. Cordima explains your findings, whether non-surgical care here may be appropriate, and the recommendations and costs before you decide. If another evaluation is needed, he’ll explain the next step.
Walking farther, managing stairs, or getting up from a chair more comfortably are personal goals that help guide an appropriate care plan.
Bring any available imaging reports and a list of treatments you’ve already tried. Not every patient is a candidate, and results vary.
Tell us what’s been bothering you, ask your questions, and get a clear understanding of your options.
Dr. Cordima will listen, evaluate your concerns, and explain whether care here may help—or recommend another next step.

Yes. Tell Dr. Cordima which activities are difficult, when the pain began, and what you have already tried. Bring existing imaging reports if you have them. Your history and examination help determine whether care here may fit your needs or another evaluation is needed.
Your hip, pelvis, and foot affect how you move and place weight through your knee. Checking those areas helps Dr. Cordima consider whether weakness or restricted movement may be adding stress to the knee and which next steps may fit your findings.
