Dr. Rion also underwent specialized training in Orthopedic Trauma, completing his Trauma fellowship in Columbus at Grant Medical Center, Ohio’s busiest Level I Trauma Center.
Dr. Rion’s passion for total joint arthroplasty stems from the dramatic improvement in the quality of life his father, a Marine, enjoyed after undergoing a successful joint replacement. Witnessing his father’s transition from incapacitating pain to successful return to work as a commercial aviator left an ingrained impression on Dr. Rion that inspired him to pursue a career in Orthopedic Surgery.
