Dr. James J. Creighton, III is board certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery. He grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana, and became a diehard Notre Dame fan at an early age. 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. The second was a Shoulder and Elbow fellowship with Florida Orthopaedic Institute.
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.
He is a member of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
Dr. Creighton spends his spare time with his wife and two sons. Together, they enjoy outdoor activities such as golf, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and time at the beach and in the water. Dr. Creighton also enjoys traveling, grilling, and watching sporting events.

Dr Creigton refers to me as "my dear" which I most certainly am not. I feel he has little interest in my treatment or outcome. I will not recommend him.
Very personable. Took his time to explain my son’s injury.
I appreciated Dr. Creightons time to examine me and treatment. Fast and efficient. Good easing personality.
I went in expecting to have Dr. Creighton do the procedure on my hand and much to my surprise. There was someone who is a fellow. He did not put the needle in the same place, the pain was excruciating and hours later it is still hurting. The last steroid injection performed by Dr. Creighton on me did not hurt or cause any residual pain. I should’ve questioned why he wasn’t doing it this time.
His apprentice who saw me was great. Thank you.
Pleasant and explained things well.
So pleased to hear my X-rays hadn’t changed since last year, just some minor tendinitis. Dr Creighton is awesome and very thorough. Will surely follow through with him.
Great care and concern and professionalism.
Not impressed . He ad the other doctor had no real interest in helping me if they could not identify a clear fracture in my shoulder and speculated I might have a herniated disc and referred me to another FL doc.
Excellent and compassionate. I would definitely ask for him again if needed.
