Dr. Eric Pridgen, MD
Hip & Knee Orthopedic Surgery
OVERVIEW
My goal is to treat each patient based on their unique needs and tailor treatment options to meet their personal goals. I have experience treating athletes from weekend warriors to elite athletes at all levels. Regardless of your activity level, my goal is to get you back to the activities you enjoy.
I am a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon focusing on sports medicine and knee and shoulder arthroscopic surgery. I have expertise in treating:
Knee injuries, such as:
Meniscus tears
Ligament injuries, including ACL tears
Articular cartilage injuries
Patella instability
Shoulder injuries, such as:
Shoulder instability
Labral tears
Rotator cuff tears.
I employ minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to treat these conditions. I believe in using evidence-based practices to guide treatment options and have contributed to the literature with numerous peer-reviewed research articles and book chapters.
I received a degree in chemical engineering …from the University of Delaware and a doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with research focusing on bioengineering and nanotechnology. After earning a medical degree from Stanford University, I completed an orthopedic surgery residency at the University of Pennsylvania and a fellowship in sports medicine at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. During my fellowship, I was an assistant team physician for the Washington University athletes, as well as the St. Louis Blues, St. Louis Battlehawks and the St. Louis City soccer team. I am a member of the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine, the Arthroscopy Association of North America and the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.
Outside work, I enjoy working out and spending time with my wife and two children.
