It took far too long to be seen. Appointments should be honored as we have others things to do rather than sit and wait for doctors. Stop scheduling too many appointments at the same time! Cast disservice to patients.
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.
