Rudolf G. Hoellrich, MD
Throughout my years at Slocum as a physician, I've had access to great mentors and team members and together, we've successfully been able to publish our own research studies in collaboration with the Slocum Education and Research Foundation.
Additionally, Slocum's culture of excellence has allowed me educate and mentor athletic training students at the University of Oregon, serve as an orthopedic consultant and team physician for the Oregon Ducks, and become an associate member of the American Shoulder and Elbow Society. I believe in a team-oriented approach involving the patient, family, and therapists focused on devising the best plan of treatment for each individual.
Whether an elite athlete, a weekend warrior, or an injured worker, my ultimate goal is to restore my patients to the highest possible level of work, play, or sport by providing compassionate care with a commitment to excellence.
