Coastal Orthopedics announces addition of new sports medicine specialist
Coastal Orthopedics, a full-service provider of comprehensive orthopedic surgery, sports medicine, spine care, diagnostic imaging and physical therapy service, recently announced the addition of a new sports medicine specialist, Dr. Johnathon R. McCormick.
Dr. McCormick is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in orthopedic sports medicine, complex knee reconstruction, shoulder replacement and hip preservation. His primary goal is to restore motion and help patients return to their active lifestyles through cutting-edge arthroscopic techniques, joint replacement and personalized sports medicine care.
His specialty spans arthroscopic and open surgery of the shoulder, hip, knee and elbow, including rotator cuff repair, shoulder instability, and UCL (Tommy John) reconstruction; hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and joint preservation; complex knee ligament reconstruction, cartilage preservation and orthobiologics; primary and revision shoulder replacement; and advanced training in pediatric athlete-specific techniques.
Dr. McCormick completed his orthopedic surgery residency at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, followed by advanced fellowship training in sports medicine and shoulder and elbow surgery at OrthoCarolina. He then completed an international fellowship in Japan under Dr. Soshi Uchida, a world leader in hip arthroscopy and joint preservation, as well as Dr. Norimasa Takahashi, to further advance his expertise in complex hip, shoulder and knee techniques.
Throughout his clinical training, Dr. McCormick served as a team physician for elite collegiate and professional sports teams, including the Carolina Panthers, Charlotte FC, Charlotte Knights, Chicago Steel, NFL Combine and multiple NCAA Division I and II programs.
“Dr. McCormick brings an exceptional combination of clinical expertise, research experience and a genuine commitment to his patients to Coastal Orthopedics,” said Paige LeMay, chief executive officer of Coastal Orthopedics. “He approaches sports medicine with an emphasis on evidence-based care and most importantly, on helping patients achieve the best possible long-term outcomes, and we are thrilled to have him join our team.”
An accomplished researcher, Dr. McCormick has authored more than 85 peer-reviewed publications, technical surgical guides and book chapters, and has been recognized as a top 10 percent most published and most cited physician in his specialty.
