About

Dr. Harper found his fulfillment in adult reconstruction by being able to combine his passion for working with his hands with the ability to improve patient’s quality-of-life. Hip and knee arthritis can be a disabling and crippling disease that prevents people from enjoying life to its fullest. It brings him great joy to allow people the freedom of mobility to enjoy their life. He enjoys being able to spend time one-on-one with his patients to discuss both operative and non-operative interventions to improve their quality of life.

He did his undergraduate at Louisiana Tech University, his medical school at Louisiana State University Shreveport, his orthopedic residency in Grand Rapids Michigan, and his adult reconstructive fellowship at University of Virginia which is one of the largest tertiary referral centers in that area.

In his free time he enjoys spending time with his wife and two children, doing projects in his rickety old barn, gardening, and working outside.
