BANDON – Welcome to Dr. Michael Ivanitsky, MD, who joins Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center’s surgical team with over three decades of comprehensive general Orthopedic Surgery experience.
Dr. Ivanitsky, FAAOS, earned his degree in Biological Science at Stanford University and attended medical school at Mayo Medical School in Rochester, Minnesota. In 1996 he completed his residency at Mayo Graduate School of Medicine – Orthopedic Surgery.
He specializes in less invasive primary total joint arthroplasty of knee and hip, direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty, trauma, arthroscopy, and carpal tunnel release. Dr. Ivanitsky is the only orthopedic surgeon on the South Coast who uses the direct anterior approach to hip surgeries, a method he feels is less invasive with a quicker recovery and healing time.

Bandon community. He will be splitting his time between SCHHC and Lower Umpqua Hospital in Reedsport.
