Locations





All Intermountain Orthopaedics physicians are fellowship trained. This means they have spent an additional year training in a specific area of orthopaedics. We have fellowship trained doctors in Pediatrics, Foot and Ankle, Rheumatology, Spine, Joint Replacement and Hand and Microvascular. We are proud that no other practice in Idaho offers such a wide range of fellowship trained orthopedic specialists.

When you call our office for an appointment, unless you specifically request a physician, we will direct you to the specialist most suited to handle your needs. We appreciate your interest in our practice. We know that choosing your doctor is an important decision and we consider it a privilege to offer you or your loved one medical care.
