New orthopedic surgeon joins St. Lawrence Health medical team

Posted

Dr. Newman is certified by and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (FRCSC). He is also a Fellow of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS). He earned his medical degree from Saba University School of Medicine, Saba, Netherlands. He completed the McMaster University Orthopedic Surgical Residency Program, Hamilton, Ontario.

He comes to CPH with diverse orthopedic experience with skills acquired in Canada, the United States, and Australia. He completed Adult Reconstruction Fellowships at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital, Oakville, Ontario; and at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Dr. Newman also completed the Perth Lower Limb Arthroplasty & Sports Medicine Fellowship in Perth, Australia.

Having formerly practiced in Maine and the North Country, Dr. Newman said he enjoys working in a small community hospital, and is looking forward to enjoying all the North Country has to offer.

“I like establishing a relationship with each patient, and seeing a positive change in how they are feeling,” he said.

“Orthopedics provides the ability to see an almost immediate change with the health concern a patient has; the fracture is fixed, the joint is replaced,” Dr. Newman noted. “It is very gratifying to see such quick results in my patients.”

Dr. Newman is a specialist in diagnosing orthopedic problems, performing or prescribing treatments, and assisting with rehabilitation. He has a keen interest in Robotic assisted surgery and incorporating new techniques and technologies into his practice. He assists his patients in developing long-term strategies to treat illnesses, disorders, and issues relating to their bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Individuals experiencing pain or discomfort relating to movement should seek medical care from an orthopedist.
