Dr. Kier Blevins
Dr. Blevins is a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon specializing in surgery of the hand, wrist, shoulder, and elbow. A proud Pennsylvania native, he is honored to return home to care for the people of Central Pennsylvania—where his journey in medicine began at Franklin & Marshall College.
He completed his orthopaedic surgery residency at Duke University, where he served as Chief Resident and was named a Feagin Leadership Scholar for his dedication to principled leadership in medicine. While at Duke, he also served as a team physician for Duke Men’s Lacrosse during the 2023 and 2024 seasons, gaining valuable experience managing elite athletic injuries and guiding athletes back to peak performance.
Dr. Blevins completed fellowship training in hand, shoulder, and full upper extremity surgery at Emory University in Atlanta, where he trained at Grady Memorial Hospital—the busiest Level I trauma center in the United States—and developed advanced skills in treating complex and traumatic upper limb injuries. He also trained internationally at Hôpital Ambroise Paré in Paris, France, where he refined cutting-edge shoulder reconstruction techniques under world-renowned upper extremity surgeons.
He has expertise in advanced wrist arthroscopy, shoulder instability, and complex shoulder reconstruction. His approach blends surgical precision, innovation, and a patient-centered focus to help patients of all activity levels restore function and return to the lives they love.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Blevins enjoys time with his wife and two sons, strength training, writing music, and exploring longevity and wellness. He finds joy at the beach and takes pride in giving back to the Central Pennsylvania community that first inspired his path in medicine.
Testimonials
What Patients Are Saying
The only complaint I had was checking in because the office staff was soft spoken and I had to have him repeat himself several times. But he seemed proficient. The wait was not long in the waiting room or when taken back to the exam room. Dr. Blevins put me right at ease making a joke as he entered. He was gentle with my shoulder, explained what he was doing and what he determined to be the problem. He made recommendations and gave me time to ask questions or express any concerns. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an orthopedic surgeon.

I fell and broke my arm in multiple places 6 weeks after a reverse shoulder replacement in the same arm. Dr Blevins came in late at night for emergency surgery. He saved my arm! He is the kindest and most caring doctor I have ever seen. Thank you, Dr Blevins!!
