He firmly believes in non-surgical treatments and that non-operative methods are successful in most cases. However, if surgery is required, Dr. Yi can perform the latest, most advanced minimally invasive arthroscopic surgeries available. His fellowship training was in sports medicine and his expertise is in shoulder, hip and knee surgery. He is one of the few surgeons trained in hip arthroscopy that preserves the hip joint using small incisions instead of the traditional large incisions that require longer recovery times. His training also includes the use of ultrasound for diagnosis and treatment, including ultrasound-guided hip injections.
Dr. Yi has presented his research nationally and has authored various book chapters in sports medicine. During his training, he gained experience in the treatment of collegiate and professional athletes, assisting with team physicians for the Chicago Bears, Chicago Fire, and the Chinese Olympic Volleyball Team.
Dr. Yi was born in Jeju, South Korea but grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida. He obtained his undergraduate degree in biology from Emory University and earned his Doctor of Medicine from Drexel University College of Medicine before completing his residency in orthopaedic surgery at Northeast Ohio Medical University. He then completed additional fellowship training in Orthopaedic Surgery Sports Medicine at the University of Chicago, where he trained in advanced, minimally invasive arthroscopic and open techniques.
Dr. Yi enjoys spending time with his wife and three sons. He also likes to fish, hike, and play soccer and volleyball.

Took time explaining
I am so thankful Dr. Yi was in the right place at the right time nearly 10 years ago when he performed an emergency double fasciotomy on my leg, saving my leg. I came in today to get it looked at and make sure everything was good and left with a new sense of confidence to keep going and not let it hold me back from maintaining my normal life. I will forever be grateful for Dr. Yi and no amount of words could express all thankful I am for him!
Dr. Yi was absolutely wonderful during my son’s visit today for pre-patella bursitis. He was very friendly and approachable, which immediately put us at ease. He took his time to thoroughly examine my son and carefully explain the injury, its causes, and the treatment plan. What stood out most was how patient he was in making sure we understood every step and what to expect moving forward. It’s clear he genuinely cares for his patients and doesn’t rush through appointments. We left feeling confident and reassured. Highly recommend Dr. Yi for anyone in need of a knowledgeable and compassionate sports orthopedic doctor!
