Vivek Venugopal, MD

I strive to truly understand my patient's goals and explain their conditions in an approachable and understandable way. I enjoy being a guide as I care for my patients, helping them make decisions that improve their quality of life—whatever that means to each person. I've wanted to be an orthopaedic surgeon since I was 18. Through my life experiences, I know how important it is to have healthy bones and joints. Each person has their own story and journey. Good musculoskeletal health is critical, whether a patient needs to work to support their family or wants to return to hiking or playing pickleball. I love working with my patients to create treatment plans that help them get back to the activities most important to them. Through hip and knee replacement (also known as adult reconstructive surgery), I have found a gratifying way to help people in my community. I enjoy helping patients achieve their goals and live the lives they want. Getting to know my patients both in and out of the medical setting is incredibly rewarding. My family and I love engaging with and giving back to the community we have made our home.
