Meet your Central Montana Orthopedic Specialists
Todd E. Cameron, DO
Dr. Todd Cameron is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with fellowship training in hand and upper extremity surgery. He has been practicing general orthopedics and hand surgery in Great Falls, MT since 2009 when he moved here with his family after completing his training. Dr. Cameron had the advantage of four years of residency training at a level 2 trauma center in Southern California where he became skilled in diagnosing and treating complex orthopedic trauma cases, including post trauma reconstruction. This, and the addition of a year of subspecialty training in hand surgery, allowed him to develop a broad scope of surgical skills that have proven valuable to his patients in this community. Dr. Cameron has found, as his career has progressed, increased satisfaction in connecting with his patients on a personal level as they work through the healing process. He enjoys alleviating his patients’ pain and restoring their function. He feels it is necessary that providers take ownership of the doctor-patient relationship as a way of improving healthcare. In addition to his passion for his career as a physician and surgeon, Dr. Cameron spends his free time with his wife caring for their large family. They enjoy skiing, hiking, hunting, and floating the river. They love Montana and do not plan to ever leave.
