Dr. Hartshorn is a Harvard fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in arthroscopic and reconstructive surgery.  He has authored book chapters, published articles in the peer-reviewed literature, and has received multiple awards. His passion for his profession, however, was evident at much earlier time.

​

At the age of three, Dr. Hartshorn exemplified an interest in the field of Orthopedics by memorizing the names of numerous bones.  In fifth grade, he carried an anatomy book in his school backpack to read in his free time.  In high school, he shadowed surgeons to learn more.  He has always had a genuine interest in what he does which is easily evident to any patient he treats.

 

His approach to care is centered around getting to know each patient.  The same diagnosis can typically be treated many different ways, and each individual has different demands, expectations, and goals that require careful assessment in order to provide an accurate and thoughtful recommendation for each individual. 

 

Currently, Dr. Hartshorn’s practice involves both primary and minimally-invasive procedures as well as complex, revision procedures.  He is conservative in nature and prefers non-surgical options when possible.

 

He is passionate about keeping people active and was the captain of the nationally-ranked Baylor Bears NCAA Division 1 baseball team.  He subsequently played 2 seasons professionally for the Fort Worth Cats of the independent Central Baseball League where he earned Rookie of the Year honors.  Over the years he has served as a team physician for both college and professional sports.

​

When not working, he enjoys spending his time with his family traveling, being outside, and participating in a multitude of kids' activities.
