Howard Barker, MD

Board Certified

I am lucky – I love what I do! I was drawn to orthopedics early in life due to my own multiple sports injuries. Now I can treat others (and myself!) to help them get back to the life they love. As a fellowship trained foot and ankle surgeon, most of my practice is from the thigh down. However, I still love to take care of shoulder problems as well. I look forward to meeting you and helping with your quest of a healthier life.

Clinical Focus:

Foot and ankle procedures such as ankle arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction, ankle and foot fusions and bunion corrections. Also outpatient knee and shoulder procedures such as ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair and rotator cuff repair.
