Knee Services We Provide
Knee Pain Consultation

Knee Injections

ACL/MCL Repair or Reconstruction
It only takes one sudden twist for your knee to feel unstable. Dr. Mehta specializes in precise ligament repair and reconstruction to bring back your strength and balance.
Meniscus Surgery
A torn meniscus can make even simple movements painful. Using advanced surgical techniques, Dr. Mehta repairs or removes all of the damaged tissue, easing the pain that’s been holding you back.

Why Do My Knees Hurt?
Your knees work hard for you every day. They carry your weight, help you move with ease, and keep you steady with every step, bend, and turn.
It’s a complex joint made up of bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and menisci, working together to give you stability and support.
When even one part is strained or worn down, it may lead to pain or stiffness. Some of the common causes of knee pain may include:
- Arthritis: Wear-and-tear or inflammation in the joint
- Ligament injuries: ACL or MCL tears
- Meniscus tears: Damage to the cartilage that cushions your knee
- Tendonitis or bursitis: Inflammation in the soft tissues
- Patellar instability: When the kneecap slips or shifts out of place
Other causes may include fractures or old injuries that never fully healed, or pain that radiates to the hip or back.
When Should I See a Knee Doctor?
Knee pain isn’t always something you should brush off as “just an ache.”
Sometimes, it’s your body’s way of telling you that something needs attention.
You may want to see a knee specialist if you notice:
- Pain that lasts longer than two weeks
- Swelling or stiffness that doesn’t go away
- Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or bending your knee
- Feeling like your knee may give out or is unsteady
- Pain after a fall, twist, or sudden injury
- Grinding, popping, or clicking sensations inside the joint
- Pain when putting weight on your leg
If any of these sound familiar, don’t try to push through the discomfort. Dr. Pamela Mehta can help you identify the cause of your pain and guide you toward the right treatment.

EXCELLENT Based on 135 reviews Posted on Chloe DeolDecember 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Mehta is an intelligent, thoughtful and down to earth provider and surgeon. She cares deeply for her patients and the art of medicine! I would recommend anyone to be taken care of by her for their orthopedic needs.Posted on Renee YoungDecember 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A few years ago, I had a major injury to my Achilles tendon. Dr. Mehta did PRP to the entire area. It’s been about six months. Literally feels brand new. Her entire clinic in Los Gatos was super accommodating She obviously deeply cares for her patients. It’s not often that you find an orthopedic surgeon that’s willing to spend the time that you need to take care of you. I’ve tried several other clinics for regenerative medicine in the area. Dr. Mehta and her team are top class. I can’t thank them enough I’ve since referred my husband parents in They’ve all had similar amazing experiences.Posted on Jennifer BlackDecember 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⸻ I had an excellent experience at this doctor’s office. They were kind and patient with my son when he needed an X-ray on his finger. The staff made him feel comfortable and explained everything clearly. The visit was efficient, and we felt well taken care of from start to finish. Highly recommend this office for anyone needing prompt, compassionate medical care!Posted on Travis CoffmanDecember 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Mehta was awesome. We appreciate how fast she responded to us in getting an X-ray order called in when our son got hurt. Even better was how she followed up with the facility even when they were being difficult to deal with so we could get the info we needed to begin treatment. Highly recommended!Posted on Katie DukeDecember 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Pamela Mehta was integral in helping me during one of the most challenging and scary times of my life. I am a nurse practitioner, and I was experiencing pain that was misdiagnosed by four physicians. I was told I had a simple pinched nerve and that I needed to take steroids and go to physical therapy. But I knew something wasn't right. My pain was getting worse after the steroids, and I started losing neurological function in my left arm, specifically, the fine motor skills in my left hand. The pain was so unbearable that for six weeks straightI only slept about 2 to 3 hours a night because I would awake often with intolerable pain. I consulted Dr. Mehta, who I have long respected as an expert in her field, and as an advocate for women, and not only did she listen to me, and validate my concerns, she was empathetic and compassionate about helping me get through such an insurmountable moment. She helped me find the right pain specialist, and immediately got me referred for an MRI, which led to the discovery that I actually had severe spinal cord compression, subsequently leading me to have emergent C spine surgery four days later. I cannot stress enough, how important it is to go to a provider, who will listen to your concerns, and ensure that you are informed an advocate on your behalf. Dr. Mehta is the embodiment of what the true meaning of a surgeon should be; skilled hands, excellence in experience and knowledge, integrity, kindness, empathy, and compassion. I highly recommend her, and I am so thankful that I had her during this time!Posted on Dana CoutureDecember 9, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have truly the very best things to say about Dr. Pamela Mehta and the entire staff at Resilience Orthopedics! My 7 year old son had recently had pain in his pelvis area that came up out of the blue! Our pediatrician at Ramblc had taken an X-Ray of that area and something scary had come from the images. I imagined the worse! It was a Friday! We quickly turned to Dr. Mehta and she had ordered an MRI for our sweet boy the very next day! We had our answers before the weekend was even over! It was truly the most difficult time for us with his diagnosis. Dr. Mehta was absolutely incredible in every step of the way!!! Truly an angel! Easing my worry and giving me a breakdown of the whole issue we had at hand. We are so grateful to her and to her entire staff at Resilience Orthopedics! They were incredible from A-Z! Thank you so much for the peace of mind you gave my family and the incredible support in this very stressful and difficult process for our family. I’m so grateful 💗✨🙏🏽Posted on Kiroun SalujaDecember 5, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Pam Mehta is exceptional. I first consulted her when my daughter tore her ACL, and later again to discuss her recovery progress. From the very beginning, Dr. Mehta was honest, informed, and incredibly pragmatic. She struck the perfect balance between empathy and straightforward guidance — she never sugarcoated anything, yet she always made us feel at ease during an overwhelming time. Her expertise is clear, but what stood out most was how trustworthy and dependable she is. She took the time to explain every step and set realistic expectations. I always felt confident in the advice she provided. If you’re looking for an orthopedic specialist who combines deep knowledge with genuine compassion, I cannot recommend Dr. Mehta highly enough. She is truly a standout physician.
Knee Conditions We Treat
ACL Tear
Have you ever felt your knee give way after a sudden twist or jump? That instability might be an ACL tear.
This injury can make even simple movements feel unsteady. Dr. Mehta uses advanced reconstruction techniques to restore stability and guide you toward full recovery.
Meniscus Tear
The meniscus cushions and supports your knee, but a tear can make bending, squatting, or walking painful.
Using minimally invasive procedures, Dr. Mehta repairs the damage, restoring movement and stability.
Knee Osteoarthritis
Arthritis gradually wears down the cartilage that protects your knee, making daily activities, like climbing stairs or standing for long periods, painful.
Dr. Mehta offers a treatment plan that may include physical therapy, targeted injections, or knee replacement in more advanced cases to relieve pain and help you move comfortably again.
Patellar Conditions
Your kneecap plays an important role in running, jumping, and climbing. When it’s misaligned or inflamed, these movements can become difficult.
Dr. Mehta offers conservative treatments and targeted injections to restore your natural, balanced movement.
Move Easier, feel better, and live fully.
