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

Dr. Blevins was genuinely one of the kindest people I have ever met in a health care setting. My fiancé broke his thumb and needed surgery so we went and him. We are both in school in a different state than our families and so we had to navigate the health system of PA on our own. Dr. Blevins was super helpful through all of this and he took such great care of my fiance and his thumb! After his surgery he came and sat with me in the waiting area and explained everything to me and I even got to see a photo of his work! Dr. Blevins clearly cares about his patients and even called him to check in! Definitely glad to have been able to work with him and witness his generosity towards his patients.

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!!
