General Orthopedics, Neck, Spine, Shoulder, Hip, and Knee
From Dr. McKenzie
I grew up in a small town in central South Dakota where my father was a veterinarian and although I grew up admiring the work he did, I was not sure I wanted to follow in his footsteps. My childhood dream was to be a professional football player but after undergoing two knee surgeries before the age of 17, I realized that was not possible. I was intrigued with the objective and deliberate nature of orthopedic surgeons and how they could take a problem, solve it, and rehab the patient back to health in a relatively short period of time. I decided to enter medical school and orthopedic training with a goal of providing the same type of treatment for my patients.
