Brentwood’s Erik N. Zeegen, M.D., one of Southern California’s leading joint replacement surgeons, has been named the 2012 Medical Honoree for the Arthritis Walk at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Dr. Zeegen’s practice is focused on hip and knee replacement surgery and offers the latest medical technologies, including lesser invasive techniques.
