A native Oregonian, Dr. Patrick Denard has been voted one of the top 20 shoulder surgeons in North America and is the most widely published shoulder specialist in Oregon. Dr. Denard has advanced arthroscopy training and is able to perform the vast majority of shoulder procedures in a minimally invasive fashion, including all types of rotator cuff repairs and instability repair. These techniques allow him to repair tears that some consider “irreparable.” In addition, he performs anatomic and reverse shoulder replacements for shoulder arthritis.
"I am inspired by helping people get back to doing the things they enjoy."
In addition to his position at Southern Oregon Orthopedics, Dr. Denard is an instructor at Oregon Health & Science University and is the Director of Shoulder and Sports Medicine at Providence Medford. He continues to participate in research, presenting this nationally and internationally and regularly instructs other orthopedists at courses on the shoulder. He is also the co-author of a textbook on shoulder surgery: “The Cowboy’s Companion: A Trail Guide for the Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgeon” (get it on Amazon), which provides step-by-step instructions for orthopedic surgeons performing shoulder arthroscopy.
"I love being a shoulder specialist and have had the pleasure of taking care of people with a variety of shoulder problems from all over Southern Oregon and Northern California. I want to provide the highest level of shoulder care possible for my patients. I stay up-to-date on the latest research so that my patients get the best that is currently available in shoulder care. Whether through nonoperative means or surgery, my goal is to help my patients understand their condition and get them using their shoulder again. If you have shoulder pain, we will work together to the best of our ability to make you better."

Dr. Denard is kind, thorough and extremely knowledgeable. I know I’m in good hands!
The best of the best, period!
He is an excellent shoulder doctor! I highly recommend him.
I was shaved how thorough, polite, and professional. Great vibes with him!!
Dr. Denard is one of the best shoulder surgeons ever. I’m very confident to be in his care.
I recently had a virtual consultation with Dr. Patrick Denard for a complex shoulder condition following a post-operative infection. He was knowledgeable, direct, and thorough. He reviewed my history and imaging carefully, gave a clear opinion, and recommended updated MRI imaging before making final treatment recommendations. I also appreciated that he suggested another respected specialist for an additional opinion. I left the consultation with a much clearer understanding of my condition and next steps, and I would highly recommend Dr. Denard for complex shoulder problems.
Excellent, he’s very patient with all my questions.
Exceptional response to questions and explanations.
Very informative and answered all my questions I feel well prepared for upcoming surgery
The visit went well. I fully understand the next step and what to expect as initial results. He explained what may follow if the results aren't as favorable as I hope.
