Straight Answers. Local Care. Proven Results.
If shoulder or knee pain is limiting how you live, work, or stay active, the goal is simple: get an accurate diagnosis, a clear plan, and the right treatment — without unnecessary delays or unnecessary surgery.
Dr Lindsay's aim is to provide focused, high-level, evidence driven orthopaedic care for active patients across Central Oregon. Whether the goal is getting back to skiing, biking, hiking, golfing, lifting overhead without pain, sleeping through the night, or simply staying independent, treatment is built around real-life outcomes.
What Patients Can ExpectClear Diagnosis
You will be evaluated directly by a fellowship-trained surgeon who treats these problems every day. The focus is on identifying the true source of pain quickly and avoiding prolonged cycles of uncertainty.
Honest Recommendations
Not every problem needs surgery. Many conditions improve with targeted nonoperative care. Our philosophy is to cater treatment to YOU and your goals. When surgery is the right answer, you will understand why, what it involves, and what recovery actually looks like.

Built for Active Patients
Central Oregon patients expect to stay active. Treatment decisions are built around maintaining independence and returning to meaningful activity — whether that means skiing, golfing, biking, working overhead, or keeping up with grandkids.
Recovery planning includes realistic timelines, pain expectations, and functional milestones so there are no surprises.
Local Care, Without the Runaround
You should not have to leave the region to get decisive orthopaedic care. Evaluation, treatment planning, and most surgical care can be handled locally, with a focus on efficiency and continuity.
Care is designed to minimize friction — fewer handoffs, fewer delays, and clear communication throughout the process.
For patients who have to travel to reach us, every attempt is made to maximize communication in order to minimize travel time.
A Practical Approach to Surgery
Surgery is recommended only when it meaningfully improves quality of life or function. When it is the right choice, the focus is on:
- Durable results
- Safe, efficient surgical pathways
- Clear recovery planning
Patients receive straightforward guidance before and after surgery, including what to expect with pain, mobility, and return to activity.
