Roger H. Emerson, M.D., comes from a family of physicians. His father was an obstetrician and his grandfather a general surgeon.

While I was in college, my father's hip became increasingly uncomfortable, and he was unable to ski with the family or play ball with his kids. After his surgery, he was like a new man.Emerson completed his undergraduate education at Dartmouth College, his medical education at Yale Medical School, and orthopedic studies at Harvard.
