Meet Dr. Terrell Joseph
After graduating from Vanderbilt and LSU Medical School, Dr. Joseph continued his training at the somewhat infamous Charity Hospital in New Orleans. Pre-Katrina Charity Hospital was a unique place according to Dr. Joseph. The sheer volume and inner-city nature of the injuries provided an exceptional training ground for high-level orthopaedic trauma.
After his five years at Charity Hospital, Dr. Joseph traveled to New Zealand to do specialty fellowship training in arthroscopic knee surgery and sports medicine, where he learned new techniques while treating international rugby players.
Following his year in New Zealand, Dr. Joseph went on to complete a second year-long fellowship in upper extremity and hand surgery in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This gave him additional training in elbow, wrist, and hand surgery in a busy university teaching hospital.
His passion for orthopaedics began here in Vail. As a 22-year-old emergency room technician in Vail, he was introduced to the many flavors of orthopaedic injuries common in the mountains. This experience inspired his dream to return to Colorado as an orthopedic surgeon in 2006.
​
Dr. Joseph's orthopedic interests include ski and snowboard trauma, including tendon and ligament injuries. He also has expertise in treating tendonitis, carpal tunnel, and hand and wrist problems.
