Biography

Dr. Christopher Brown is a fellowship trained Orthopedic Surgeon and is board certified in general orthopedics and sports medicine. His orthopedic training at Duke University Medical Center allows him to treat a variety of musculoskeletal injuries including: fractures, hand, wrist, and elbow conditions. His additional sub-specialty training in sports medicine at Stanford Medical Center provides him with unique expertise in complex shoulder and knee conditions such as ACL tears, shoulder dislocations and labral tears, rotator cuff problems, meniscus tears, and cartilage damage. He is an innovative surgeon who uses the most up-to-date research and surgical techniques to better his patients. During his time at Duke and Stanford, Dr. Brown worked with elite athletes when he provided team physician coverage for the National Football League's San Francisco 49ers, as well as the NCAA Division I Stanford Cardinal and Duke Blue Devils. He has helped grow sports medicine and athletic training services in the Finger Lakes and Rochester area to help keep our kids safe, healthy, and on the field through a team approach.
