Practice Overview

Zachary Pressman, MD, is an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in the treatment of injuries and conditions of the upper extremity. He is Johns Hopkins fellowship trained in both surgical and nonoperative treatment of the shoulder and elbow, including arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, biceps tendon tears, joint replacements, and sports injuries.  He also specializes in the treatment of traumatic injuries to both the upper and lower extremities.

“I am committed to providing excellent, patient-centered care to help my patients accomplish their goals. This can only be achieved by establishing a relationship that is based on trust and respect. While X-rays, CT-scans, and MRIs are helpful in establishing a diagnosis, each study belongs to an individual with a unique set of priorities and values. Therefore, no treatment would be complete without taking all of these aspects into account.”

A Twin Cities native, Dr. Pressman is excited to be back in the land of 10,000 lakes. He enjoys spending time with his wife and son, as well as hiking, biking, fly fishing, kayaking, exercising, and playing the piano.
