Work with Dan
Orthopedics. Writing. The deeper work of becoming whole.
I’m Dan Hoopes, an orthopedic surgeon, educator, and author. My work lives in three connected lanes: practical orthopedic guidance, the message behind Worthy of the Boy, and broader whole-person care through FocusMD in South Jordan, Utah.
Board-Certified Orthopaedic Surgeon
About Dan Hoopes
Dan Hoopes is an orthopedic surgeon, educator, and author.
For years, patients and therapists have used his orthopedic website for clear guidance, practical recovery information, and postoperative protocols. That work remains focused on helping people understand injuries, surgery, and recovery with more clarity and less confusion.
Worthy of the Boy reflects another side of his work. It is more personal. It explores identity, suffering, masculinity, resilience, and the long process of becoming whole.
Work With Dan in Person
If you are looking for broader health optimization, recovery support, performance guidance, or a more whole-person medical conversation, Dan also works with patients through FocusMD in South Jordan, Utah. That clinic is where the in-person side of this broader work lives.

Start in the lane that fits
Some people come here because they are injured. Some come here because something deeper in their life needs attention. Start with the lane that fits, and go from there.
