About Michael Dorning, DO

Philosophy of Care

I am a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon at Duly Health and Care specializing in Sports Medicine and joint replacement. As a former Notre Dame baseball player, I uniquely understand the desire to return to form and function. I help those I serve to flourish by approaching musculoskeletal injuries with conservative care whenever possible and surgical care when necessary. I have particular clinical interest in sports injuries, fracture care, primary joint reconstruction, and arthroscopic treatment of the knee and shoulder.
