David J Berkoff, MD

I am a native of Haddonfield, NJ. While earning my undergraduate degree at the College of William and Mary, I was a member of the Tribe baseball team and was all-conference third basemen my junior and senior seasons. In 1998, I came to Chapel Hill to start my residency in Orthopaedics. I then moved to Chicago to complete my fellowship in Sports Medicine and Shoulder. While completing my fellowship, I helped take care of the Chicago White Sox baseball team, Chicago Rush arena football team, and the Chicago Steel hockey team. After my fellowship, I returned to Chapel Hill as an attending physician in the Department of Orthopaedics. I am now the Chief of Sports Medicine and Yeargan Professor and have been the team physician for the Tar Heels for the past 17 years.

I have proudly called North Carolina home for over 20 years. In addition to my clinical work in Orthopaedics, I also serve as a team physician for the UNC Tar Heels athletics programs and remain active in teaching the next generation of medical students, residents and fellows. As a world champion Ultimate player, I love caring for athletes of all types and ability levels and working with patients to develop management plans that fit individual needs. I enjoy helping people of all ages remain active and meet their goals. In the community, I serve as team physician for Chapel Hill High School and the Raleigh Flyers and Raleigh Radiance professional Ultimate teams. I also serve on the USA Ultimate Medical Advisory Working Group and work as an event physician for the National Basketball Association. I am proud to have the opportunity to work in service of the people of the state of North Carolina as a member of UNC Orthopaedics.
