Dr. Ian Brotman is from East Brunswick, NJ, and attended medical school at Rutgers NJMS. He completed a medical internship in Newark, NJ, before moving to Pittsburgh for his anesthesiology residency at UPMC. Following residency he returned east for a pediatric fellowship at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

His nonclinical interests include medical education improvement, and in his free time enjoys rock climbing, obstacle course races, and cooking.

As an orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in hip and knee replacements, including the anterior hip approach, I strive to help patients get back to the activities that they enjoy most. Although joint replacement surgery may be the ultimate solution to arthritis for many patients, there are often non-operative treatments that can provide relief and improve quality of life. I enjoy getting to know my patients so that I can understand how arthritis affects their lives and so that we can discuss what treatment option best fits their individual goals.

I earned my medical degree at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, completed my residency in orthopaedic surgery at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, and completed fellowship training in adult reconstruction at Scripps Clinic. I am currently a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons.  

During my time away from the hospital, I enjoy playing golf, working on home improvement projects, and spending time with family and friends.
