Beginning his journey into orthopedic surgery in his late teens, Dr. Workman’s curiosity for sports medicine and physiology started with high school sports. As a soccer player, he unfortunately grew familiar with sports-related injuries and became fascinated with how orthopedic providers could restore function in injured or debilitated patients. After shadowing various orthopedic surgeons in his local community, Dr. Workman’s new interests prompted him to study biology and premedical sciences. His experience in medicine continued when he helped provide relief in the aftermath of Haiti’s devastating earthquake in 2010. His summer internships also offered a broad understanding of various medical fields. Through these experiences, it became clear that orthopedic surgery was the right fit for him.

As a joint replacement specialist, Dr. Workman helps patients suffering from degenerative joint disease regain function, alignment, and improve range of motion.
