| Jonathan Yerasimides |
Dr. Yerasimides is an orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in surgery of the hip and pelvis. He attended the combined six year program at the University of Missouri–Kansas City where he earned his B.A. in Biology and later an M.D from the same institution. In 2005, Dr. Yerasimides completed his residency in orthopaedic surgery at the University of Louisville. His interest in hip and pelvis surgery motivated him to look for a subspecialty fellowship in this area. This interest led him to the foremost authority on surgery of the hip and pelvis in the United States, Dr. Joel Matta. Dr. Yerasimides interviewed with Dr. Matta in Los Angeles for his single fellowship position and was accepted for the 2005-2006 fellowship year.
He exclusively operates on the hip and pelvis and has performed over 2,600 anterior approach hip replacements since August of 2006. Dr. Yerasimides has quickly become an authority on anterior approach hip replacement and has performed the procedure more than any surgeon in the Southeast United States. He travels to teach the procedure to other orthopaedic surgeons and has surgeons visit Louisville to watch the procedure first hand. He sees patients and operates out of Norton Brownsboro Hospital.
Dr. Yerasimides is married and has three children. He and his wife are both originally from Richmond, Missouri, a small town on the outskirts of Kansas City. They are avid sports fans who enjoy Churchill downs, University of Louisville sports and are currently Kansas City Chiefs season ticket holders. They are proud to call Louisville home.
