ABOUT DR. DORENKAMP

Dr. Dorenkamp is compassionate about providing patient driven and patient specific care. It is Dr. Dorenkamp’s philosophy that motion is one of the keys to living a healthy life. This has directed Dr. Dorenkamp to devoting his career in medicine to orthopedic surgery with a focus in spine surgery. Fundamentally, orthopedics is centered around improving mobility in patients through treating musculoskeletal pathology. Dr. Dorenkamp furthers this by expanding his practice to spinal pathology. In his spine fellowship, Dr. Dorenkamp has trained extensively in both cervical and lumbar spinal decompression, spinal fusion, and trained with national leaders in motion preservation total disc replacements. He works with his patients to collaboratively address their pathology through both conservative and operative interventions.
