About Dr. Currie
Taking the time to truly understand my patients’ needs is at the core of my care process. By listening and observing, my primary goal is to help my patients feel better quickly with the best and most current treatment available. I am committed to forming a treatment plan that will help my patients to resume their desired activities as soon as possible. When surgery is the optimal solution, I use minimally invasive techniques along with a customized post-operative program to speed recovery and restore function.
Dr. Currie’s special practice interests include upper extremity and general orthopaedics, endoscopic carpal tunnel release, minimally invasive distal biceps tendon reinsertion, pectoralis major tendon reinsertion, medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction, coraco-clavicular ligament reconstruction, and minimally invasive treatment of Dupuytren’s Contracture via needle aponeurotomy and Xiaflex collagenase injections.
Dr. Currie serves as Legacy Christian Academy School Board member.
