After his freshman year at Indiana University, Dr. Creighton transferred to the University of Notre Dame, receiving his Bachelor of Science. He then attended Indiana University School of Medicine, and after graduating, he stayed there for his orthopedic surgery residency. Dr. Creighton then did two fellowships to specialize in upper extremity surgery. The first was with the Indiana Hand to Shoulder Center, focusing on hand, upper extremity, and microsurgery.

Dr. Creighton cares for all upper extremity conditions, including fracture care, arthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, nerve decompression and repair, Dupuytren’s disease, arthroplasty, and arthroscopy. He cares for patients of all ages. Dr. Creighton’s goal is to get patients back to their regular activities as soon as possible by working as a team with caregivers, family, and other medical professionals.

First time visit to Dr.Creighton’s practice. He is quite knowledgeable and very pleasant. He listened carefully and knew exactly what he needed to do. Great!
Excellent carrying DOCTOR
He was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.
Excellent bedside manner explains things very well. I truly felt like I was in excellent hands .Highly recommend.
He spent good time with me. Reception was wonderful. Nurse was wonderful. Everybody was wonderful. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.
Excellent care plan. Dr Creighton spend time understanding the patient issues and present treatment options.
The Dr and intern were great but I didn’t expect it to be SO painful after I got home. I had to take Tylenol and ice it.
Wait times for X-ray, basic intake etc. were broken up so it didn’t seem too long before I was seen by the doctor in my opinion all within a reasonable amount of time. Dr. Creighton was very personal and explained the options well.
Very cordial. The PA is who performed the cortisone shop. He was very very patient with me. Thank you.
Very thorough
