Dr. Ian Stine is a fellowship-trained board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine, trauma, and joint reconstruction. He has a passion for treating athletes ranging from the pediatric to the aging athlete. Whenever possible he utilizes non-surgical rehabilitation to return patients to pain-free activity and high-level performance. For more severe injuries, he performs arthroscopic surgery of the elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle. ACL reconstruction in recreational and competitive athletes is a common but significant injury which Dr. Stine treats with the latest scientifically proven arthroscopic techniques. He has a special interest in the field of joint preservation with significant experience utilizing cartilage restoration to keep patients active with their native joints for as long as possible. Hip arthroscopy is a new and exciting field in orthopedics that allows a minimally invasive approach to the treatments of many hip conditions. Very few surgeons have experience or training in this technique. Dr. Stine is proud to offer patients this innovative solution to hip problems that don’t respond to conservative measures. When necessary, Dr Stine performs joint replacement of the hip, knee, shoulder for severe arthritis. After training at a large joint replacement center, he offers patients minimally invasive incisions to speed recovery and utilizes cutting-edge implants to ensure the longevity of the new joint. Trauma and fracture care is a common orthopedic problem that needs to be handled with a modern approach as well. Dr Stine is a surgeon that our local Emergency rooms call on regularly to handle simple and complex orthopedic fractures.

Dt Stine and his PA Josh were wonderful! They took the time to listen and addressed my concerns. They helped to ease my mind tremendously. Thank you!
My first appointment with Dr. Stein was extremely disappointing. Despite my severe knee pain, he entered the exam room without any greeting or inquiry about how I was doing. I had already completed extensive online forms with detailed medical and family history, yet the staff required me to fill out nearly identical paper forms again. When I politely questioned the redundancy, I was told Dr. Stein “did not have access” to the online forms. Instead of beginning with a clinical assessment, Dr. Stein immediately accused me of being “intimidating” and “disruptive,” relying solely on a staff member’s report. At no point had I raised my voice or behaved disrespectfully; I simply expressed frustration with the duplicate paperwork. He showed no interest in hearing my perspective and displayed no empathy or professionalism. His demeanor was dismissive and entirely lacking in basic bedside manners. Given this experience and his refusal to treat me with respect, I chose not to see him again.
Very Professional and Nicole assist is extremely very professional and is very informative. It’s hard to find Service like this anymore.
I’m very happy for the attention and the professionalism the doctors
Josh and the staff are so professional and friendly. Great experience.
Very organized and on time. Concise information and treatment options. Very professional personnel. My appointment was smooth.
On time….. Listens…..
He listens and carefully explains and shares test results.
Fantastic physician! Listens and communicates so the patient understands. I would highly recommend Dr. Stine.
Knowledgeable and gives his patient sufficient time.
