William Corey, MD

I am a fellowship-trained and dual board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in arthroscopy or minimally invasive surgery. My interests include all sports or activity-related injuries, in particular complex knee injuries, knee ligament injuries, cartilage disorders as well as shoulder injuries. \n I obtained my medical degree from Indiana University School of Medicine, graduated from a residency in orthopedics at the University of Virginia and completed the prestigious sports medicine fellowship at Rush University in Chicago. I also earned an undergraduate degree in athletic training from Purdue University and a master's degree in physical therapy from Washington University in St. Louis. \n My on the field experience includes working with the Indianapolis Colts, Chicago Bulls and Chicago White Sox, as well as the athletic departments of Purdue University, University of Virginia, James Madison University, DePaul University and Wabash College. I have also authored numerous journal articles and medical textbook chapters reporting on findings in basic science and clinical research. \n Previously, I was an assistant professor and orthopedic surgeon at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. While in Charleston, I also served as the lead team physician of several local high schools as well as the Charleston RiverDogs, the New York Yankees minor league baseball team. I was also the director of sports medicine at Mission Hospital and the lead team orthopedist for the UNC Asheville Bulldogs, Asheville City Soccer, Asheville High School and the Asheville Tourists minor-league baseball team.

If there is one thing I would like each of my patients to know about me, it's that I am wholly dedicated to their well-being. Reducing pain and improving mobility are my primary goals, and I am proud to achieve these using the most advanced treatments available. \n Since my residency at the Harvard Combined Orthopaedic Residency Program, preserving and replacing joints has been my passion. I want to benefit not only the patients I treat, but the field of orthopedics as a whole. Through multiple publications and presentations, I have been able to share research that has benefitted patients and providers worldwide. \n I love calling the Lowcountry home. Building a regional center of excellence for hip and knee replacements will be an achievement that will benefit our area for generations to come.
