Jonathan Riggs enjoys making a significant impact on patients’ quality of life through excellent orthopedic care. Because people have different goals, he focuses on listening closely to each patient, evaluating their condition, and creating a personalized treatment plan. He believes that adjusting treatment options based on patient feedback and progress is critical to delivering high-quality care.

Jonathan has a special interest in treating sports injuries, particularly those affecting the shoulder, elbow, or hand.

A lifelong athlete, Jonathan earned a bachelor of science degree in sports medicine/athletic training and a master in physician assistant studies at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
