Dr. Bruce was also the orthopaedic surgeon associated with the Kansas City Ballet from 1996 - 2007.

Focus lies within sports medicine, specifically shoulders and knees. Dr. Samuelson has history with athletic teams across Kansas City; including Baker University, UMKC, Kansas City Comets, and Kansas City Attack soccer teams. He is currently the team physician for Rockhurst High School. Dr. Samuelson has performed shoulder and knee surgeries on one of our own Champion Performance and Physical Therapy family members!
Gerald McNamara, MD
Focus lies within sports medicine, as well as general orthopaedic surgery. While he does specialize in the lower extremity, including the hips and knees, he also does upper extremity, as well. Dr. McNamara performed shoulder/collar bone surgery on our very own Hope Hillyard!
Atul Patel, MD, MHSA
Focus lies within musculoskeletal medicine and rehabilitation, as well as neuropathic medicine, with subspecialties in spasticity and movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and MS.

Jeffrey Salin, DO
Focus lies within the lower extremity, specifically the hip and knees. Dr. Salin is another member of Kansas City Bone and Joint who performs the minimally-invasive anterior-approach total hip replacement, and is always looking into more efficient, successful techniques and devices via an endless database of literature to keep his practice on the cutting edge of musculoskeletal science. Dr. Salin also had the opportunity to practice under Dr. Lombardi prior to joining Kansas City Bone and Joint in 2007.
J Clinton Walker, MD
Focus lies within sports medicine, as well as the upper extremity, with subspecialties in the hand and elbow. While Dr. Walker has patients all across the board, age-wise, he does hold a special interest in those athletically-related cases, as he was a collegiate baseball player, himself!
Suzanne Elton, MD
Focus lies within the upper extremity, with subspecialties in the hand, wrist, and elbow. Dr. Elton's clinical specialties include microsurgery; or the practice of complex surgeries within a small space requiring the use of a microscope. Her surgical specialties include, but are not limited to: endoscopic carpel tunnel surgery, arthritis of the hand and wrist, and the treatment of tennis elbow.
