SoutheastHEALTH Welcomes Orthopedic Specialist
Southeast Orthopedics and Sports Medicine has welcomed two new physicians to its growing team of specialists. Shawn Duxbury, MD, and Josh Hammond, MD, bring with them exceptional expertise in scoliosis and hand and wrist surgery.
Duxbury completed his medical degree at the University of Alabama School of Medicine and followed that with a residency in Orthopedic Surgery at Atlanta Medical Center. He also completed a fellowship in Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery at Emory University. He is recognized for his expertise in treating scoliosis, pediatric fracture care and trauma and general pediatric orthopedics.
He says that “pediatric and adolescent patients are the best patients to work with in the world. They’re resilient, they heal well and quickly, they are motivated and so much fun.” Duxbury also enjoys helping patients with scoliosis “who were embarrassed or felt different gain confidence and get back to their jobs of being kids.”
Hammond earned his medical degree at the University of Michigan Medical School. He completed a residency in Orthopedic Surgery at McLaren-Flint/Michigan State University and a fellowship in Hand Surgery at the University of Alabama.
He says that the chose hand surgery as his specialty “because our hands are so vital to the human experience – conversing with someone, sharing a meal, playing on a sports team, family game night and the like. We really don’t realize how much we use and need our hands until something happens to them.” Hammond is noted for his excellence in surgical intervention for carpal tunnel disease and management of base of thumb arthritis.
Duxbury and Hammond join a team of SoutheastHEALTH Orthopedic and Sports Medicine experts who include Anthony McPherron, DO, Matthew Baker, MD, Charity Jacobs, MD, Andrew Lawrence, MD, and Jimmy Bowen, MD.
