Dr. Donald McGinnis strives to meet the expectations of his patients, especially when it comes to getting them back to activities they enjoy most. Working with athletes and assisting them to recover and return to sports after an injury motivated Dr. McGinnis to focus his specialization on sports medicine and arthroscopy. Growing up the son of a physician in Oklahoma City, he knew from an early age he wanted to pursue a career in medicine, just like his older siblings. His fellowship training in Sports Medicine, coupled with a desire to give back to the community has kept him active, working with athletes of all ages in a variety of sports. Dr. McGinnis serves as a U.S. Olympic Snowboarding Team Physician and has spent almost 20 years on Sooner sidelines, working as a Team Physician for the University of Oklahoma athletic programs. Dr. McGinnis and his wife, Stacy, are committed to health and wellness in their own lives and are proud parents of four grown, athletic sons.

Wonderful clinician. Took time to explain my condition and answer questions.
Dr. McGinnis did my right knee surgery 20 years ago and I plan to have him do my left knee surgery this year. My right knee did very well for the past 20 years and I’m looking forward to him taking care of my left knee.
One of the best orthopedic surgeons in the entire state!
Excellent care and tremendous wisdom! The support team likewise!
Nicest and most professional doctor I've seen in a long time.
Dr. McGuiness is the very best! He is thorough, professional, and I felt very fortunate to have him as my doctor
