After flying around the world as a United States Air Force pilot, Dr. Justin Bartley is returning to East Texas to care for East Texans’ orthopedic needs.

Dr. Bartley graduated from Grand Saline High School as the valedictorian of his class. Following life in East Texas, he graduated top of his class from The United States Air Force Academy, where he received a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. For several years, he served in the Air Force as a pilot, project manager, and research engineer before completing his medical degree from Texas A&M College of Medicine. During medical school, he conducted research at John’s Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory involving the neural integration and development of a robotic upper extremity prosthetic limb as part of the DARPA funded Revolutionizing Prosthetics project. His work during residency earned him the Mid-America Orthopedic Association Senior Resident Education Grant. He finished his orthopedic surgery residency training at Scott and White Memorial Hospital and fellowship training in Sports Medicine & Shoulder Surgery at the University of Colorado. Throughout his medical career, he has actively participated in research and completed numerous publications and presentations.

“Of all the musculoskeletal conditions I treat, my preference is to exhaust all non-surgical treatments options before considering surgery. It’s humbling to treat athletes at all levels of competition and it’s a special experience to watch the healing process and witness athletes return to the sport they love. From the competitive athlete to the weekend warrior, my mission is to provide a consistent level of excellent service and compassionate care for all of my patients”.

Bartley enjoys CrossFit, biking, running, and spending time with friends and family. He is happy to bring his wife and sons back to East Texas, and for the opportunity to provide outstanding care to our community.
