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.

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.
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
