Denise Norton, MD

Assistant Professor/Clinical

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Department of Orthopaedics

Dr. Norton graduated from the University of Miami in Miami, Florida, then attended St. George's University in Grenada.  She did her residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) at University of Rochester in Rochester, New York.  She completed her fellowship in Interventional Spine and Sports at OSS Health in York, Pennsylvania.  She is double boarded in PM&R and electrodiagnostic medicine.

She started in private practice performing interventional fluoroscopic procedures, electrodiagnostics and ultrasound guided injections, but came to the university to be a part of resident's educational growth and work in a collaborative and multi-specialty environment.  Her goal is for patients to avoid or delay surgery when possible by providing everything from conservative therapy, to diagnostic testing and interventional procedures.  Being located in the orthopedic department allows for a seamless transition for patients; conservative care before and after surgery and ultimately providing patients with the best care possible.
