A graduate of the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine and a fellowship-trained specialist in adult reconstructive surgery from the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Belmar has contributed extensively to orthopedic research and education throughout his career.
“Dr. Belmar’s arrival marks an exciting new chapter for IOI,” said Dr. Michael Meneghini, founder and CEO of Indiana Orthopedic Institute. “His expertise and experience in joint replacement will elevate our capabilities and bring transformative care to the patients we proudly serve.”
