After graduating from Medical School, he returned home where he completed his Orthopaedic residency at the University of Tennessee College of Medicine in Chattanooga.

He and Kelly make their home in Fortwood, where they raise their three children, Vivian, William and Coleman. ”Patients coming to us with hand and upper extremity needs are some of our most rewarding. Assisting our patients in returning to a life of independence and accessibility is always our primary goal.” – Dr. Justin Arnold
