The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) in Little Rock is the only health sciences university in Arkansas. It is the state’s largest public employer with more than 10,000 employees in 73 of Arkansas’ 75 counties. UAMS and its clinical affiliates, Arkansas Children’s Hospital and the VA Medical Center, are an economic engine for the state with an annual economic impact of $3.92 billion.
UAMS Health Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine is composed of more than 30 physicians who provide highly specialized care for conditions and disorders affecting bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons. The team is made up of fellowship-trained surgeons and physicians who are dedicated to improving the quality of life in their patients. They are a diverse group with a common goal: to provide the highest level of orthopaedic and sports medicine care to our state and surrounding area. This talented group truly works as a team to deliver care that encompasses the broad field of orthopaedics.
Three of the notable doctors include Chelsea Mathews, M.D.; Wesley K. Cox, M.D. and Corey Montgomery, M.D.
Mathews says that orthopaedic surgery, foot and ankle surgery specifically, allows her to “think critically, work with my hands and treat a variety of conditions, from arthritis to athletic injuries.” Cox is attracted to orthopaedics because it gives him the ability “to solve the specific problem a patient is having and return them to the things they enjoy and the things they want to do.”
Montgomery loves being an orthopaedic surgeon because it allows him “to have a ‘hands-on’ role in improving someone’s quality of life.”
These are just three of the talented professionals dedicated to serving Arkansans with orthopaedic or sports medicine needs.
