David H. Ge, MD
Philosophy of Care
"My philosophy is that we treat the whole person and the whole family—it takes a village, and I consider myself part of yours. I listen before I recommend: your goals—returning to a sport, keeping up with your kids, or simply moving without pain—drive the treatment plan, not the other way around."

Experience in Orthopedic Surgery
Dr. Ge has built his orthopedic training with a clear goal: to provide advanced sports medicine care for patients of all ages. He completed two full fellowships—first in pediatric orthopedic surgery at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and then in adult sports medicine at Duke University—giving him a unique depth of training across both growing and adult patients.
His practice focuses on complex sports injuries and joint preservation, with particular expertise in hip arthroscopy, ACL reconstruction, cartilage restoration, meniscal transplantation and patellar instability. He is especially drawn to challenging cases including revision surgery and complex cartilage problems where treatment must be carefully individualized. His goal is not simply to address the visible injury but to understand and treat its underlying cause.
Dr. Ge takes a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to modern orthopedic surgery. He uses advanced techniques and technology when they offer meaningful benefits for patients while focusing on preserving healthy tissue and restoring function. Ultimately, he believes excellent orthopedic care requires understanding the whole joint, staying current with the evidence and developing a treatment plan around the individual patient.
