As a board certified orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Mark Gillespy commonly is consulted for many musculoskeletal conditions including fractures, muscle, ligament and joint injuries, and nerve entrapments. Within the group and within the community, he specializes in spinal, hip, and knee surgeries. He performs cervical, thoracic, and low back spinal operations using minimally invasive techniques. In addition, he performs arthroscopic surgery of the knee, minimally invasive partial and full knee replacements, and minimally invasive total hip replacements.
