Knees, Shoulders, Hips, and more
Whether your orthopaedic surgery is planned or unexpected, Samaritan’s surgical team – Dr. Billy Thompson, and Dr. Brett DeGooyer – is ready to care for you. Orthopaedics involves the musculoskeletal system, which includes muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. Conditions could include musculoskeletal trauma, spine diseases, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, and more.
Dr. Billy Thompson, an on-staff orthopaedic surgeon, is fellowship-trained in sports medicine with a second fellowship in shoulder surgery. He has specialized expertise in shoulder and upper arm surgeries, and has additional experience in hip, knee, and other joint replacement surgeries, as well as ACL and rotator cuff procedures. Previously, he served as an orthopaedic surgeon for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and has maintained a keen interest in helping patients regain their active lifestyles – on and off the field.
Dr. Brett DeGooyer is our fellowship-trained orthopaedic sports medicine physician. Whether an injury or medical concern occurs in the workplace, the home, or while participating in sports or recreation, Dr. DeGooyer’s wide range of professional experience and active approach to healing provide treatments for patients of all ages when injuries do not require surgery.
