Jonathon-Walsh-400x400-px-Headshot

Specializes in knee, hip, and shoulder issues

Dr. Jonathan Walsh joins our team as a board-eligible orthopedic surgeon with a specialization in adult reconstruction, including complex primary, revision total joint surgeries and robotic assisted joint replacements. His comprehensive training, diverse experiences, and enthusiasm make him a valuable addition to our practice.

“My mission is to leverage my expertise in orthopedics to positively impact individuals’ lives through effective and innovative solutions. Orthopedics offers distinct challenges with clear, actionable solutions that provide immediate benefits to patients.

During my undergraduate studies, I gained valuable experience working as a Medical Assistant at Arlington Orthopedic Associates, where I worked with Drs. Tony Brentlinger, Jim Burnett, and Jim Hilliard. Initially uncertain about specializing in orthopedics, my five years at AOA profoundly shaped my passion for the field. Witnessing firsthand the transformative impact of orthopedic care ignited my commitment to being a positive force in my community.

Furthering my experience at the Cleveland Clinic, I confronted complex cases in adult joint reconstruction. This role reinforced my dedication to offering hope and effective treatment in challenging situations. The opportunity to enhance patients’ prospects when faced with daunting circumstances has deepened my sense of purpose and drive in orthopedics.”
