Tesson Heights Orthopaedics was formed to help deliver quality orthopedic care to the South County area.  Dr. Stephen Benz helped start the practice in 1991 and partnering doctors joined the practice over the years to form the current team which strives to meet the same goal of providing high quality orthopedic care.

“We have grown in size but our quality mission has remained unchanged.  We deliver state of the art care on a daily basis.” Dr. Benz said.

Partners Dr. David B. Fagan joined the practice in 1993, Dr. Robert I. Markenson in 1994 and Dr. Thomas K. Lee in 1999.  Dr. Amy M. Zippay, who specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation, joined the team in 2004. 

Tesson Heights Orthopaedics is proud to welcome Jacques S. Van Ryn, MD who joined the staff in April 2009.  Dr. Van Ryn has been practicing orthopedic surgery in the St. Louis area for over 25 years and prior to joining with Tesson Heights Orthopaedics, was with Premier Care Orthopedics (North Division of Signature Health Services, Inc) where he was a past president. 

Tesson Heights Orthopaedics provides various orthopedic care including orthopedic surgery, total joint replacement, sports medicine, orthopedic trauma, spine surgery, physical medicine, rehabilitation, fluoroscopy, as well as digital X-ray and an open MRI facility on site.
