Summary
- Dr. Spencer is a board certified, fellowship trained Orthopaedic Surgeon specializing in Sports Medicine. As a Southern California native, Dr. Spencer grew up enjoying the active outdoor lifestyle that many of us enjoy. His passion for Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine was born from his experiences while surfing at the local beaches, playing ice hockey around San Diego, and snowboarding, hiking, and fishing in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. While it was his injuries that introduced him to Orthopaedics, his passion and dedication for helping and treating others is what drives his commitment to excellence in Orthopaedics.
Dr. Spencer graduated from San Diego State University with his B.S. in Cell and Molecular Biology, then went on to attend Georgetown University where he earned a M.S. in Physiology. He then completed medical school at Midwestern University's Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine before completing his Orthopedic Surgery Residency at Jersey City Medical Center. He then went on to complete a fellowship in Orthopedic Sports Medicine at Jefferson 3B Orthopedic Institute.
Dr. Spencer believes in a patient-first approach, where your time and your concerns are as important as your outcome and return to pain-free activity. Taking time to ensure you understand your diagnosis and how your body is affected by it is a top priority. He combines your goals and expectations with cutting edge therapies and techniques to create a personalized treatment plan, tailored to each patient. Dr. Spencer is committed to utilizing the latest in non-surgical techniques to alleviate pain and prolong the life of your joints with Hyaluronic Acid, PRP, and Regenerative Cell Therapy.
