Keith Kenter, MD, is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon and sports medicine doctor who has more than 25 years of experience diagnosing and treating sports injuries, with a focus on shoulder joint injuries. He treats shoulder instability, rotator cuff tears, shoulder arthritis, shoulder fractures and shoulder labral tears.

Dr. Kenter chose to become a doctor because the human interaction that comes with getting to know someone and the privilege to help care for their needs meshes with his love of science and analytical thinking. In his practice, Dr. Kenter takes time to care for all of his patients’ needs, not just the physical, and works together with each person to develop a shared decision for how to treat their condition.

He and his wife Patty have been married for 36 years and have three adult children and two grandchildren. Ice skating is Dr. Kenter’s passion outside of his family and work, and he also enjoys traveling internationally to learn about new cultures and people and try new foods.
