Mitchell K. Messner

Overview

I’m an orthopedic surgeon with specialized fellowship training in sports medicine. I care for a wide range of patients in my practice, including athletes recovering from injuries, individuals managing arthritis, and people who have sustained a fracture. I especially enjoy helping my patients restore their strength and mobility, enabling them to return to both sports and everyday activities. I have a special interest in shoulder injuries and shoulder surgery. What I enjoy most about orthopedics is the opportunity to see measurable improvements in my patients’ quality of life, whether it’s through surgical intervention, rehabilitation or preventive care. My approach to care is centered on listening to each patient’s story, understanding their goals and working together to create a treatment plan that fits their needs. I strive to guide each patient toward recovery and lasting wellness. It is truly an honor to aid my patients in reaching their highest potential.

He is actively involved in clinical research, co-authoring 6 peer reviewed articles. Dr. Messner is currently accepting new patients.
