Omar J. Darr, MD

Practice Philosophy:
As a specialist in sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery, my goal is to help people of all ages stay healthy and active.  Most conditions can be successfully treated without surgery.  However, when surgery is indicated many of the procedures I perform are done arthroscopically using small incisions.  With these techniques, patients recover as quickly as possible. 

Education/Credentials:
I received my undergraduate degree from Tufts University where I was a member of the football team.  Subsequently, I obtained my medical degree with honors from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and then went on to complete an Orthopaedic Surgery Residency at Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois.  My training also includes a Sports Medicine and Arthroscopic Surgery Fellowship from the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York where I focused on the treatment of knee and shoulder conditions.

I am board certified in orthopaedic surgery and have obtained a subspecialty certificate in sports medicine by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery.  I am a member of the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine, the Arthroscopy Association of North America and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. 

Interests/Additional Activities:
My special interests include ACL and meniscus tears in the knee, as well as shoulder labral tears and rotator cuff problems.  Currently, I am involved in teaching other orthopaedic surgeons advanced arthroscopic techniques at the Orthopaedic Learning Center in Chicago.

I am team physician for Whitefish Bay High School athletics.  In 2009, I was a recipient of the Milwaukee Business Journal’s Forty Under 40 Award.

Away from the clinic, I enjoy sports and spending time with my wife and children.
