Travis Liddell, Orthopaedic Surgeon, Sioux Falls SD

Travis Liddell, Orthopedic Surgeon

I am a board-certified, orthopedic surgeon who specializes in general orthopedics, with special interests including, but not limited to, sports injuries, trauma, hip/knee/shoulder arthroscopy, and joint replacement. My initial medical training was completed at Loyola University in Chicago, followed by my orthopedic residency training at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu, HI.

After my residency training, I served at Womack Army Medical Center at Fort Bragg, NC, home of our 82nd Airborne and Special Forces, where I served as a staff orthopedic surgeon to our country’s active duty soldiers, veterans, retirees, and their families. In addition, I was asked to serve as the designated staff Orthopedic Surgeon and Sports Physician for an elite special forces unit for the US Army Special Operations Command. Having the opportunity to serve this unique group of professional soldiers and athletes allowed me to expand my experience in sports medicine, arthroscopy, and trauma while working with some of our countries most elite athletes and professional soldiers. In addition, Fort Bragg was an excellent place to gain experience in trauma with the large airborne division stationed there, as well as total joint replacement, since it had a large veteran referral population from the local VA hospital.

In 2010, as part of my service in the Army, I deployed to Iraq to serve with the 28th Combat Support Hospital. During my time there, I provided acute trauma and orthopedic care to our soldiers injured in combat, as well as surgical care to Iraqi soldiers, Iraqi civilians, British Allied soldiers, and contractors supporting our mission from a variety of other nations. Despite the hardships and sacrifices of an oversees deployment, I was humbled and honored to be given the opportunity to provide care to our military personnel serving our country.

In 2011, I was able to pursue my goal of traveling to East Africa for a volunteer medical mission at Tenwek Hospital in rural Kenya. While both demanding and incredibly rewarding, this opportunity as a staff orthopedic surgeon once again allowed me to gain experience with patients of a variety of ages, medical conditions, and a variety of challenging traumatic injuries. This opportunity also allowed me to participate in teaching surgical residents at the Academy of Christian Surgeons Surgical Residency Program in Bomet, Kenya.

This year, after nine years of active duty service, I am leaving the military to join a phenomenal group of physicians at CORE Orthopedics – Avera Medical Group in Sioux Falls, SD. I am very excited to join this group of experienced surgeons, and my family and I are proud to become members of the Sioux Falls community. I would be honored to care for you or your family with any of your orthopedic concerns or injuries to the best of my ability."

Dr. Liddell is board certified by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery. He is a fellow in the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgery, and is also an active member of the Arthroscopy Association of North America as well as the Society of Military Orthopedic Surgeons. He has received multiple awards for his research work in orthopedic surgery as well as several other awards for his military service as an orthopedic surgeon. While providing care for our military’s men and women in a combat zone, he was awarded the Bronze Starfor his service during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Fellowship training is recognized as the highest level of medical training available. Dr. Wimberley completed two additional sub-specialty fellowships at Harvard Medical School. These fellowships were in Orthopedic Spine Surgery and Orthopedic Trauma Surgery.

After leaving Boston, he completed a third sub-specialty fellowship, and his second fellowship, in Spinal Surgery as a part of the prestigious Thomas Jefferson University Spine Surgery Fellowship training program in Philadelphia. This unique educational experience allowed for combined training by both Neurosurgery and Orthopedic spinal specialist. Dr. Wimberley has been fortunate to receive both orthopedic as well as neurosurgical spine surgical training.

There is no doubt that Dr. Wimberley’s world class training has prepared him to provide exceptional care of your spinal condition. He is one of a select group of Spine Surgeons in the world to have completed three sub-specialty fellowships, two of those focusing entirely on complex surgery of the spine. Couple that training with the thousands upon thousands of operations performed by Dr. Wimberley on his own patients during nearly a decade of busy clinical practice as an attending surgeon in the Texas Medical Center and it becomes clear that he possesses both the training and clinical experience to accurately diagnose and successfully treat the spectrum of spinal disease

We serve the entire family - from children to seniors. We deliver care to sports enthusiasts, seniors, business executives, carpenters, mothers, fathers, and grandparents.
Orthopaedic Surgery Specialists

Our Philosophy

We are committed to providing the highest quality care for our patients. Our goal is to return our patients to the best level of function possible. This goal requires expert knowledge of a patient's problems and effective state-of-the-art treatment solutions. After a comprehensive diagnosis has been made, treatment is geared towards restoration of function, pain control, and return to pre-injury activity level. Our approach involves a thorough understanding of the patient's needs, use of modern diagnostic modalities, treatment with multiple conservative measures, and ultimately, advanced surgical techniques when absolutely necessary.

Why Choose Our Practice?

Committed to conservative treatment
We generally follow non-surgical conservative approaches to treat orthopaedic problems. We use highly effective protocols for pain management, physical therapy and rehabilitation. When and if surgery is required, we prefer minimally invasive surgical techniques and use the most up to date technologies in orthopaedic implants.

Fellowship training and board certification means expertise
Our doctors have expertise beyond regular orthopaedic surgery. We are trained in specific orthopaedic subspecialties during fellowships at prominent institutions. We are board certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery.

Clinically and academically active
We teach orthopaedic courses to other doctors, regularly attend continuing medical education courses, research and publish papers in orthopaedic journals, have developed innovative devices used nationally in orthopaedic surgery, and have developed natural musculoskeletal health supplements.

Most of our new patients are referred to us by other doctors, friends, and family
We are staff surgeons at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center located in the Los Angeles area. Our practice is the most referred to orthopaedic practice by other doctors at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center. Doctors refer their patients to us because they know that we are extremely responsive to patients’ needs.

Focused, available, and involved in the community
We provide you with one-on-one care. We offer same day appointments for emergencies. We are always available to patients and referring doctors. Our doctors have traveled to Haiti to provide orthopaedic medicine to Haitians; we also serve as team doctors for local Los Angeles high schools, and lecture often about current topics in orthopaedics.

Convenience and technologically up to speed
In our office, we offer services such as bracing, x-rays, casting, and splinting. These onsite services ensure that you will be properly fitted with the orthotics that best protect you from additional injury. Lab work and physical therapy services are only steps away from our office door. We record your medical history, condition and treatment digitally by using an Electronic Medical Record system which enables us to have better communication with you and your primary care physician. EMR technology maximizes your privacy.

The doctors at Orthopaedic Surgery Specialists help thousands of patients every year treating injuries and pain in the spine, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle, and foot. We are specialists in the following areas:

Sports Medicine & Arthroscopy
Running, biking, playing soccer and skiing make you feel energized and healthy. However, sometimes your body cannot keep up with the demands. It is possible, for example, to develop tears in the shoulder (rotator cuff) or knee (ACL). Our team is particularly skilled in minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures, which can put you back on course faster than you might expect.

Hand & Upper Extremity
The hand is a unique area of the human body that is made up of bone, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, skin, and blood vessels. These elements must all be in good working order for the hand to function well. The relationship between all these structures is delicate and refined. An injury or disease can affect any or all of these structures and impair the use of the hand and upper extremity. Injuries to the hand and upper extremity can keep you from writing, working or even holding your child's hand. Our team specializes in getting you "back into the game" as quickly as possible. Surgery may be recommend, but only when non-surgical treatment fails.

Hip & Knee Replacement (Joint Replacement)
Arthritis in the hip and knee can keep you from ordinary activities like standing up or walking. A previously implanted prosthetic joint could also be the cause of discomfort or pain. Our team specializes in joint replacement, and we have helped thousands. With use of the most recent advancements in orthopaedic implants, pain management protocols and minimally invasive surgical techniques, patients recover faster and exceed expectations.

Spine Care
Back and neck pain can be very disabling. Children and young adults can be affected by scoliosis, trauma or disc herniations. Seniors can be afflicted by arthritis, spinal stenosis, deformity, and osteoporosis-related fractures. Our team is trained to help you with neck and back pain and injuries. We always utilize conservative means such as physical therapy, medications, exercise and injections before considering surgery.

Foot & Ankle
The foot and ankle contain numerous bones, joints, ligaments and tendons that function together to allow us to walk efficiently and pain free. These complex structures differ from person to person and constantly change depending on the phase of the gait cycle. Pain in the foot and ankle can be caused by a number of reasons from overuse injuries to inflammatory conditions involving the entire body.

Fracture & Trauma
A fracture is a bone which is cracked or broken. While many fractures are the result of high force impact or stress, a fracture can also occur as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the bones, such as osteoporosis. Fractures are often treated with splints, casts, and sometimes by surgery. Orthopaedic trauma is an injury to the musculoskeletal system (e.g., bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage). In some cases, a trauma can be life-threatening medical emergency, while in others, it is in need of urgent attention but the patient is not in imminent danger.

Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis affects millions of Americans. As bones continue to weaken with age, symptoms of back pain, loss of height, and fractures of bones of the spine, arms, wrists, hands, hips and legs can develop. Our team of specialists is trained in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition, as well as fracture prevention with medicines and vitamins, as well as management and rehabilitation if fractures happen.

Arthritis
Arthritis is an inflammatory or degradative condition affecting the cartilage within a joint. Warming signs for arthritis include pain, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty moving one or more joints. There are various treatment options that can help.

Dr. Rajeev Vohra is President of New York Bariatrics and Laparoscopy and is Chief of Laparoscopic and Minimally Invasive Surgery at South Nassau Communities Hospital located in Oceanside.

Hernia Types

There are various types of hernia that can occur in both men and woman.

    Inguinal Hernia is where the intestine or bladder protrudes through the abdominal wall (direct inguinal hernia) or into the inguinal canal in the groin (indirect inguinal hernia). The Inguinal hernia is most common in men (about 80% of all inguinal hernias) because of a natural weakness in this area.
    Ventral Hernia is a hole in the muscles of the abdominal wall. A bulge is noticeable in the middle of the abdominal wall.
    Hiatal hernia(hiatus hernia) is when the upper stomach squeezes through the hiatus, an opening in the diaphragm through which the esophagus passes.
    Umbilical hernia is when part of the small intestine passes through the abdominal wall near the navel (belly button). Most common in newborns, obese women and those who have had many children
    Incisional Hernia is most common in elderly or overweight people who are inactive after abdominal surgery. At the area of the previous abdominal surgery, the intestine pushes through the abdominal wall.
    Femoral hernia appears as a bulge in the upper thigh. The intestine enters the canal carrying the femoral artery into the upper thigh. Most common in women, especially those who are pregnant or overweight.

As time goes on, hernias tend to enlarge and without notice can become obstructed or its blood supply cut off.  This could then become a life-threatening situation.

Dr Alex Phoon, Plastic Reconstructive Surgeon, Sydney NSW

Alex Phoon, Reconstructive Surgeon

Dr Alexander Phoon is a fully qualified Plastic, Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgeon with the Royal Australian College of Surgeons and the Australian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. As a fourth generation surgeon of Eurasian background, the essence of excellent surgical care, attention to detail and sound communication skills were imparted upon him from a very early age. Being born and raised in Sydney into such a medical family provided a never ending source of inspiration and there were few surprises when he chose to pursue a career in plastic surgery.

“When I was growing up, I was inspired by my father’s commitment to his patients. They were much more than patients to him. He treated them all as if they were part of his own family. That deep commitment to his patients underpins the basis of that special relationship that exists between a patient and their treating doctor”.

Dr Phoon commenced his medical training at the University of New South Wales almost 20 years ago but it was a placement in the infamous Baragwanath Hospital (Johannesburg, South Africa) that finally cemented his decision to become a plastic surgeon. “Amid all this confronting trauma and reconstructive work, I had finally found my calling” says Dr Phoon. “The dedication to a life serving those in need of medical help and it was with plastic surgery I found true purpose.”

“People forget the origins of plastic surgery. The profession was born from within the ashes of the First World Warand it came to embody the pinnacle of care, skill and innovation in modern surgical practice. The excellence in aesthetic surgery today is a direct result of the excellence in reconstructive surgery that preceded it.”

Dr Phoon was awarded best Surgical Resident and Surgical Registrar multiple times and credits those awards to an understanding of the value of hard work, treating others as your equal and above all care of his patients. He is still active in surgical teaching and mentoring younger surgeons. He is appointed at the University of Sydney where he was also was awarded a Master of Surgery in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in 2005 for his work using lasers in microsurgery. At the same time he developed the skills of non-surgical rejuvenation and founded a biotechnology company in 2006 which he still operates today. He built from the ground up Australia’s only ongoing microsurgical course and continues to teach microsurgery at master’s level at the University of Sydney.

As part of his overseas fellowship he spent seven months visiting New York, including time at the prestigious Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Care Centre, The Manhattan Eye Ear and Throat Hospital and numerous other world leaders in the field of aesthetic and reconstructive Surgery around the New York and Tri-state area of USA. 2011 saw Dr Phoon spend a year in Cambridge, United Kingdom, where he was the Senior Microsurgical Fellow undertaking a tremendous volume of challenging reconstructive work without suffering a single failed reconstruction. He has recently been appointed a Consultant Plastic Surgeon at the prestigious Royal Prince Alfred Hospital specialising in all aspects of plastic surgery.

Dr Phoon has lectured both nationally and internationally and continues to push the boundaries of plastic surgical innovation at home and at the famous Mayo Clinic in North America. Ongoing projects both home and abroad are aimed at pushing the boundaries of what is possible for the next generation of plastic surgeons.
