Committed to Excellence in Orthopedics
As a Southern California native, I grew up enjoying the active outdoor lifestyle that so many of us enjoy. Whether surfing at the local beaches, playing ice hockey around San Diego, or snowboarding, hiking, and fishing in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, I was no stranger to injury. While these injuries are what introduced me to the field of Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, it is my passion and dedication for treating others that continues to fuel my commitment to excellence in Orthopedics.
Dr. Spencer's commitment to excellence in Orthopedics began at San Diego State University, where he earned his Bachelors of Science degree in Cell and Molecular Biology while also conducting Sports Medicine research in the biomechanics of baseball and golf swings. He then attended the prestigious Georgetown University where he was selected into the accelerated Master's of Science program in Physiology and Biophysics. After graduating from Georgetown, Dr. Spencer went on to receive his Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine from Midwestern University's Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine. While at Midwestern, he continued pursuing his passion for Orthopedics and Sports Medicine research by evaluating advanced techniques in rotator cuff repair as well as testing cutting edge joint replacement technologies.
Following medical school, Dr. Spencer completed his Orthopedic Surgery Residency training at the Robert Wood Johnson / Barnabas Health Jersey City Medical Center in Jersey City, NJ. Throughout his residency training, Dr. Spencer refined his surgical skills through thousands of surgical procedures, published articles and book chapters in the areas of Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Trauma, as well as gave numerous lectures and presentations locally and regionally. Dr. Spencer's commitment to excellence in Orthopedics, his compassion for the community, and his dedication for the advancement of Orthopedic education earned him the role of Chief Resident.
After residency, he completed a Sports Medicine Fellowship at the renowned 3B Orthopedic Institute in Philadelphia, PA, while continuing to publish research with experts in the field. Throughout fellowship, Dr. Spencer mastered numerous advanced surgical techniques while caring for elite level athletes ranging from high school to the professional level. He also served as a Team Physician for West Chester University, where he worked along side fellow Physicians, Athletic Trainers and students while taking care of college athletes in football, baseball, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, track and field, gymnastics, tennis, and rugby. Now in the Coachella Valley, Dr. Spencer has taken on a personal mission to treat sports injuries and ailing joints. He takes pride in providing a tailored approach to patient care, by taking the time to educate his patients on their diagnosis and implement a multimodal approach of non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, sport-specific rehab, cryotherapy, as well as biologics (PRP and Stem Cells) in order to customize the treatment to each patient. Dr. Spencer is committed to providing excellent care for you and your family and returning you to pain-free activity.
