Introduction
Fox 12 Good Day Living’s Stephanie Kralevich recently stopped by ROC’s Tualatin location for a behind‑the‑scenes look at the work of orthopedic surgeon Dr. Nathan Orvets. The segment highlights Dr. Orvets’ expertise in treating upper extremity injuries, with a special focus on the unique demands placed on throwing athletes.
During the visit, Dr. Orvets shared insight into the types of elbow, wrist, and hand injuries he sees most often, including those that require Tommy John surgery. As he explains in the interview, overhead and throwing athletes place significant stress on the elbow, and early evaluation can make a meaningful difference in both treatment options and long‑term performance.
The feature also gives viewers a glimpse into ROC’s patient‑centered approach, emphasizing accessible care, advanced surgical techniques, and a commitment to helping athletes return to the activities they love.
Dr. Orvets is now accepting new patients at ROC’s Tualatin clinic, offering comprehensive care for upper extremity injuries ranging from overuse conditions to complex ligament tears.
