Gregory Tayrose, MD

Professionally, I enjoy roles that provide me the opportunity to work with others towards their goals and improved quality of life. In addition, I have long held an interest in health and medicine, especially sports medicine, in part inspired by my upbringing playing sports and my continued enjoyment of running in my time off. Working as a physician assistant in orthopedics has allowed me to combine my interest in medicine with my passion for helping others. Orthopedic issues can have a significant impact on quality of life and I find it rewarding helping patients on their journey towards recovery. My philosophy of care is to prioritize listening first, hearing from patients about their goals and any concerns that they may have about their health. I believe that this approach allows me to perform my best in my role working with patients to address those concerns and to help patients assess, adjust, and work towards their health goals. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our cat, especially cooking and sharing meals with friends and family. In my free time I also enjoy running and playing guitar.

I specialize in arthroscopic surgery of the knee and shoulder, as well as shoulder replacements, and knee replacements. I find immense fulfillment in forging strong patient connections and providing personalized care. My passion lies in helping others regain their mobility and quality of life. Guiding individuals on their journey to recovery, and getting them back to their active lifestyles or simply back to enjoying everyday life is my ultimate goal as an orthopedist. My care philosophy centers on tailoring treatments to individual needs, prioritizing personalized approaches over a "one-size-fits-all" model. I firmly believe in exploring non-operative management as a first line of treatment, striving to understand each patient's unique circumstances before considering surgical options. This approach allows for the most suitable and effective course of action, fostering better outcomes and optimizing the recovery journey to guide individuals back to their active lifestyles. Outside of work, I enjoy running, working out and spending time with my wife and two dogs.

I have always found great joy and value in taking care of people. After working in sports medicine as an athletic trainer for nearly a decade, I decided that I wanted to grow my abilities to more fully care for patients. That prompted me to pursue becoming a physician assistant. As a PA, I am able to provide better, more complete care for the patients I see on a daily basis. Orthopedic issues can really impact someone’s quality of life. I understand that there is more to caring for a patient than merely treating their symptoms so I always try to consider how a person is being affected by the condition they are experiencing. I like to get to know my patients because I believe that helps me provide better care. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and young kids. I like to spend as much time as possible outdoors. I go on adventures big and small together with my family whenever I can.
