Thomas N. Conner, MD

Experience matters! As an orthopedic surgeon for over 25 years, I have had the privilege of taking care of a wide variety of patients. My career has been shaped by seeing a full spectrum of orthopedic problems and injuries. My goal (in patient care) is to educate each individual to deliver the best plan of care they deserve. My areas of expertise are (total and partial) joint replacement of the knee, hip, and shoulder; having subspecialty certification in sports medicine. I also focus on arthroscopic treatment of the shoulder and knee (care), including rotator cuff and instability surgery, ACL reconstruction, and meniscal surgery. When not wearing scrubs or taking care of my patients, my passion is my family which includes four children, my wife and two dogs. Our family is involved in youth sports, music (I play the piano), and our church. My hobbies include skiing, sailing and boating, and conditioning with running, biking and swimming.

Our team has been together for nearly twenty years, and we look forward to meeting you and helping to provide the best orthopedic plan of care to reach your personal goals.
