Get back to what you love.
Dr. Katie Vadasdi is a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon specializing in the shoulder, elbow and knee. Whether it's a varsity season, a morning run or lifting your kids without pain, she and her team build your treatment around what matters to you.
Meet your surgeon
A surgeon who starts with your goal.
Dr. Vadasdi performs arthroscopic and open surgery of the shoulder, elbow and knee, including ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff and labral repair, and total and reverse shoulder replacement. Not every patient needs surgery, and she'll tell you when you don't. When you do, you'll have a surgeon who knows exactly what you're working toward.
