Brief Intro

Dr. Sandmeier is an orthopedic surgeon with specialized training in sports medicine who has been in practice since 1997. His training consisted of 10 years of work after college with 4 years of medical school at the University of New Mexico, 5 years of residency and 1 year of specialized training in sports medicine. He provides and supervises operative as well as nonoperative care.He started out in practice at Kaiser Permanente in Portland and was the chief of orthopedic surgery for the Kaiser Northwest region for approximately 2 years and then joined the Orthopedic and Fracture Clinic in private practice in 2002, where he worked for 5 years before joining The Portland Clinic to help create a sports medicine program. Dr. Sandmeier is board certified in orthopedics and sports medicine. Dr. Sandmeier's practice includes a broad range of orthopedic problems, but is focused on knee ligament and meniscus injuries, which make up more than half his practice."I believe in a team approach. The most important member of the team is you the patient. You are the one who decides whether or not the process has been successful and you are also the one who will end up having to do the most in order to recover. Other members of the team are myself, your primary care doctor, physical therapists, athletic trainers, radiologist, surgical personnel and my medical assistants. As with any complex process, all of us need to do our part to have the process go smoothly and predictably."
