Marcus Trotter, MD

Dr. Marcus Trotter is an orthopedic surgeon. Being a formal athlete, Dr. Trotter understands what it feels like to have athletic goals and aspirations halted from an injury. An orthopedic surgeon gave him a second chance to fulfill his dream of playing Division I football. Over the last 15 years, he has trained to now be that person who will perform at their very best to give people the opportunity to return to their sport or hobbies. Dr. Trotter loves the concept of teamwork. To have the opportunity to form a bond with the patient and to fix the injury, as a team, has always been his motivation.

In his free time, Dr. Trotter loves the outdoors. He enjoys hiking and plans on learning how to fish and hunt. He is a college football enthusiast, and you can find him spending most fall Saturdays with friends watching football. Finally, he likes reading about psychology, watching documentaries or new movies, and hopes one day to become a respectable BBQ pitmaster.
