Orthopaedic Surgery

Specializing in Total Joint Arthroplasty

Dr. David Rion is a native of the Carolinas. Having grown up in both North and South Carolina, Dr. Rion went on to receive his medical education at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. After he obtained his Doctor of Medicine degree, Dr. Rion completed both his residency training in Orthopedic Surgery as well as a fellowship in Adult Reconstruction at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh. Dr. Rion also underwent specialized training in Orthopedic Trauma, completing his Trauma fellowship in Columbus at Grant Medical Center, Ohio’s busiest Level I Trauma Center.

Dr. Rion’s passion for total joint arthroplasty stems from the dramatic improvement in the quality of life his father, a Marine, enjoyed after undergoing a successful joint replacement. Witnessing his father’s transition from incapacitating pain to successful return to work as a commercial aviator left an ingrained impression on Dr. Rion that inspired him to pursue a career in Orthopedic Surgery. Dr. Rion employs advanced techniques and the most state-of-the-art equipment to aid in total joint arthroplasty.
