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.

What Patients Are Saying

Dr. Blevins is amazing! The doctor at OIP just told me the swelling I was experiencing in my hand from the broken collarbone was due to my age and I was not moving the arm enough. My arm was swollen from the hand to the elbow like a balloon and it was hot with burning pain. I decided to go to OSS. They did X-rays of the whole arm and shoulder, did ultrasound to check for blood clots. Then Dr. Blevins looked at and diagnosed it correctly as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. He called for occupational Therapy which started right away l. He knew exactly what to do. Otherwise, I would have ended up with a frozen shoulder and losing the use of my hand. What a difference in approaches!!

I am currently being treated by Dr. Blevins for a displaced fracture of proximal phalanx of thumb.Dr. Blevins saw me at OSS Health Mechanicsburg less than 24 hours after the fracture, determined that I needed surgery (K-wire percutaneous pinning). He operated on it 6 days later at OSS Health York/Powder Mill.I have been very pleased with the experience and grateful that Dr. Blevins fit me in his schedule so quickly. The operation itself was (for me) easy and not at all stressful, and I have had little pain following the surgery.I am still recovering, but I feel confident that it will heal well, and Dr. Blevins has done very well by me.

Dr. Blevins puts me at ease and he listens! I find many doctors who don't take the time to listen to the patients issues. At my first appointment he ordered x-rays to see what the issue was. He examined me and set up PT. Weeks later I am able to move much better with less pain!!! I am very happy that he is my doctor! Thank you Dr. Blevins!!
