Dr. Amanda Fantry

Amanda Fantry, M.D., is a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon who treats all foot and ankle pathology. This includes arthritis, heel pain, bunions, hammertoes and complex hindfoot deformities, as well as sports injuries such as ankle sprains, Jones fractures, Achilles tendon injuries, and all fractures and trauma.

Dr. Fantry believes orthopaedic patients are an exceptionally diverse group who vary widely in age, activity level and goals of care. She spends each office visit learning about her patients, their interests and how she can best restore their function and mobility. Whether the goal is to run a marathon or simply take a painless walk around the block, she uses both non-operative and surgical treatments to improve symptoms. She wants each patient to understand their condition, how it developed and their treatment options so they can make a well-informed decision about their care.

Dr. Fantry earned her Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Philosophy from Boston College and a post-baccalaureate Master of Arts from Boston University. She earned her medical degree from New York Medical College, where she was elected to Junior AOA. She completed her general surgery internship and orthopaedic surgery residency at Alpert Medical School at Brown University/Rhode Island Hospital, where she served as Chief Resident of Outpatient Clinical Services. She went on to complete an orthopaedic trauma fellowship at Alpert Medical School at Brown University/Rhode Island Hospital and an orthopaedic foot and ankle fellowship at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Texas.

Dr. Fantry is a Clinical Associate in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at UConn Medical School and serves as the St. Francis Hospital Site Director for the UConn Orthopedic Residency. She was accepted into the Breaking Barriers program at the University of Saint Joseph, sponsored by the Connecticut State Medical Society and the International Women’s Forum of Connecticut. In 2023, she volunteered on an overseas outreach trip to Kenya with the Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Foundation. She is a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
