My name is Dr. David Geier, triple-board certified orthopedic surgeon, sports medicine specialist, and anti-aging and regenerative medicine expert.

I have treated hundreds of military members and veterans during my career. I understand how physically demanding that service can be and how devastating the injuries that can arise from that service can be. I can help you as you attempt to navigate the VA system to obtain benefits. I am not affiliated with the VA system at this time, but I can serve as an independent medical examiner to help determine if your orthopedic injury and diagnosis are service related and to document that relationship with a NEXUS letter.
