Expertise

Arthroscopy | Orthopedic Surgery | Repetitive Motion Injury | Sports Injuries | Sports Medicine

As a physician, it is my goal to know all of my patients on a personal level in order to provide optimal care. There is no single treatment option that can be applied to all patients. Getting to know each patient individually, and understand their physical goals, allows me to provide the best possible treatment plan for their injury.

I am an orthopedic surgeon who provides surgical treatment to a wide variety of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries. With subspecialty fellowship training in sports medicine and arthroscopy, I am especially passionate about joint preservation and minimally invasive procedures of the shoulder and knee. I have a particular interest in surgery for rotator cuff and labral tears of the shoulder. With respect to the knee, my areas of interest include ligament repair and reconstruction, meniscal repair, and cartilage restoration. I have provided care to patients of all ages and activity levels, from competitive athletes to weekend warriors to more sedentary individuals who want to return to their daily activities.

I am currently a member of the Arthroscopy Association of North America, the American Orthopedic Society of Sports Medicine, and the American Osteopathic Academy of Orthopedics.

Outside of work I enjoy running, skiing, golfing, and hiking.

When Dr Tenpenny came in he also apologized for the longer than normal wait. Even though I had to wait Dr Tenpenny did not rush through my exam. He asked me questions about my TKR. Showed me my X-rays and said how all I was healing. He listened to my questions and answered them fully. All in all it was a good visit and I am very happy with how I am healing and how well Dr Tenpenny and his team care for their patients.”

Doctor William Tenpenny, discussed physical therapy I'm doing. He brought up using a brace. Medicare does replacements every three years. The gentleman who works with braces suggested a brace I could purchase. I ordered it and he told me to come in and he would fit it for me. He went above and beyond, helped me tremendously. The relief from pain was immediate. The entire office has my full confidence”
