Board-Certified Orthopaedic Surgeon
Dr. Daniel M. Hoopes
Dr. Hoopes focuses on surgical and non-operative treatments of lower extremity injuries, specifically those involving the foot and ankle. He has degrees in Microbiology (BS), Business Management (Minor), and Information Technology (MS) from Brigham Young University. He then earned his MD degree from the University of California, Irvine. Dr. Hoopes completed Orthopaedic Surgery Residency at the University of New Mexico, in Albuquerque. His Fellowship sub-specialty training in Foot and Ankle at the University of Washington and Harborview Medical Centers in Seattle, WA allowed him to work with the most knowledgeable and venerated surgeons in this unique aspect of Orthopaedic Surgery. Patients traveled from all over the country and even from other parts of the world in order to have surgeries and other treatments by “the best of the best”.
Treatment Philosophy
Dr. Hoopes has a special interest and in-depth knowledge of chronic and acute running injuries and injuries in other endurance athletes such as cyclists. As a former Cat 1/2 Pro Road Bicycle and Expert Mountain Bike racer, he understands the desire of an athlete to stay active and get back to their sport as soon as possible. He is pioneering a way of thinking about and treating chronic running injuries by paying better attention to the roots of biomechanics and seeking to exploit the unique endowments of human physiology. While many try to treat and prevent injury with always more expensive and more complex shoes and other equipment, Dr. Hoopes first looks to careful examination of form, stride, and simplicity. However, when non-surgical measures have proven ineffective, he is able to perform operative treatment that gets you back on your feet.
