Biography
Dr. Hamilton is a native to southeast Michigan. He attended the University of Michigan for his undergraduate degree, and then he moved from Ann Arbor to Detroit where he obtained his Masters from Wayne State University. He then stayed at Wayne State for his MD degree.
​
He completed his orthopedic surgery residency training at the renowned Detroit Medical Center, where his faculty and mentors helped him become a caring and conscientious physician and surgeon. He then chose to do an extra year of training, called fellowship, in order to master the most advanced techniques in primary and revision total joint replacement. His fellowship was performed at one of the top orthopedic hospitals in the country, Houston Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas.
Dr. Hamilton is a firm believer in utilizing modern surgical techniques to provide the best outcomes for his patients. Some examples include robotic-assisted arthroplasty and direct anterior total hip arthroplasty. He is also devoted to minimizing postoperative pain in his patients. From minimally-invasive surgical techniques to a customized postoperative protocol, his goal is to give his patients the most comfortable recovery possible.
​
Dr. Hamilton truly loves the field of orthopedics. He enjoys taking his time to understand each patient's story, coming up with a diagnosis, and working together to create a treatment plan. Whether it be a simple, nonoperative intervention or a problem which requires surgery, he loves seeing his patients get better and get back to doing what they love.
