Orthopedics
Jack Goldstein, MD
- Affiliated with The Miriam Hospital
Jack Goldstein, MD graduated from the University
of California at Davis with a BA in Physiology in 1975. After
two years of medical research, and graduate work in mechanical engineering,
he received his MD from U.C. Davis in 1982.
His interest in
orthopedic surgery developed because of his broad background, which included
teaching woodworking and joinery at U.C. Davis, conducting biomedical research, as well as mechanical engineering coursework. After two years of general surgery, he
completed an orthopedic surgical residency at Rutgers University in 1988.
Goldstein's personal experience in gymnastics, running and competitive swimming
prompted fellowship sub-specialization in sports medicine with Douglas
Jackson, MD in Long Beach, California. This fellowship was completed in 1989. He
practiced sports medicine and general orthopedics from 1989 through 1991 in Hawaii, and then moved and continued to practice in Providence, Rhode
Island.
Goldstein has extensive orthopedic sports medicine experience. He
specializes in arthroscopic ligament reconstruction of the knee and
shoulder, and arthroscopy of all joints. He also has extensive experience
in total joint replacement, fracture care, and reconstructive treatment of
deformity and length discrepancy using Ilizaroff techniques. He has a very
broad experience because of training and practice in several states. In
addition, Hawaii presented an unusual breadth of problems and experiences,
including treatment of polio patients, and severe limb deformities referred from
the far East.
Goldstein is dedicated to patient education and high quality orthopedic care. He treats patients of all ages. Goldstein has been actively involved in
family practice education and speaks often to residents and the RI Academy
of Family Practice about orthopedic education topics. He is the team physician
for local high school teams, and has interests in surgical instrument design
and fabrication, collagen biological implants, and bioengineering topics
related to sports medicine issues.
