Orthopaedic Research Clinic of Alaska
Dr. Vermillion is board certified in Orthopaedic Surgery and has completed fellowship training in Joint Restoration. He is one of the only surgeons in Alaska that performs minimal incision total knee replacements (arthroplasty). He also has a strong background in Sports Medicine and this interest has led him to become one of the most experienced cartilage restoration surgeons in the nation. Dr. Vermillion is currently working to refine new techniques that utilize biotechnology to replace normal cartilage as well as developing new techniques for limb alignment procedures that are essential in joint restoration.
Dr. Vermillion served in the military for over 21 years. Prior to going to medical school he served as an infantryman and was selected to be on the United States Modern Pentathlon Team. He knows what it is like to have injuries and always seeks to get patients back to their highest functional level possible. "All medical care should be individualized to a patient's functional level, medical condition, and personal choice."
