Charles Anderson Roberson, MD

I care for people who have fractures, sprains, strains and arthritis. I also provide therapeutic injections, diagnostic ultrasounds and orthobiologics. My goal is to get patients better and help them avoid surgery. I listen carefully to my patients and have transparent conversations about treatment options that allow us to make decisions together.

When an athlete has a serious injury, it can be one of the hardest moments of their life. I guide and encourage my patients throughout their recovery. Seeing athletes recover and get back on the field is very fulfilling. When you come to my clinic, I try to make things easy to understand so you leave the office feeling confident with a plan.

I come from a family of nurses, including my mother and sister. We're in different fields--my sister is in primary care and I'm in orthopedics--but we're all inspired by wanting to help people. That's been our drive. We love our community. I like total hip replacements the best. People with bad hips live with terrible, gnawing pain. But 24 hours after the surgery, most of them can't believe how much better they feel. It's such a joy--patients come back to our office to see us even years later to tell us about their lives, show us pictures of their travels, etc. We give people their lives back. Many patients are scared, and they live with pain. I want to encourage them to overcome that fear. There are lots of options besides surgery. I want my life to matter and to help people in a tangible way. Getting people past pain and get their lives back is why I'm a nurse practitioner and why I do what I do.
