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 ##### My son had a more complicated wrist fracture. Dr Blevins treated him with respect while talking to my son about how he can help it heal. He was understanding yet serious about the treatment program and needs of a child in a "cast" for the summer. HIGHLY recommend (and he's not our first hand/wrist specialist). Patient Submitted Review By: ###### Christy M. July 3, 2026 ##### He was on point and very through with my visit Patient Submitted Review By: ###### Lisa A. June 23, 2026 ##### Dr. Blevins was phenomenal! My daughter broke her thumb playing lacrosse, and because Dr. Blevins also played lacrosse, they immediately had something to connect over. That connection made a huge difference in easing her stress and helping her feel comfortable. He was incredibly patient, explained everything in a way she could understand, and made her feel comfortable enough to ask questions. She actually left her appointment excited to come back for her follow-up visit—which also went wonderfully. We truly appreciated the care, compassion, and attention he provided throughout the entire experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Blevins to anyone seeking orthopedic care for their child.
