Parkridge Health System is pleased to welcome Martin Redish, MD, to Parkridge Medical Group. Dr. Redish will continue his tradition of excellence and innovation in the diagnosis and treatment of orthopedic conditions at his new practice, Parkridge Bone & Joint.

“The interest of my patients is first and foremost in my mind,” explains Dr. Redish. “I always seek to customize my care of each individual patient by getting to know their wants and needs and planning their care accordingly. When surgery is the best choice, Parkridge Medical Center has been very supportive of me and my patients, and it will be a pleasure to be more closely aligned.”

Dr. Redish has been practicing orthopedics in Chattanooga for over 30 years and is recognized for his expertise in joint replacement and general orthopedics. He has become one of the world’s experts in minimally invasive partial knee resurfacing, helping develop new products and techniques to improve the procedure’s results. He has also developed surgical innovations for corrective bunion surgery and the treatment of calcaneus (heel) fractures to decrease recovery times. Parkridge Bone & Joint’s services will include hip, knee and shoulder replacement, hand and foot surgery, and general orthopedics.

Dr. Redish earned his medical degree at Indiana University in Indianapolis, Indiana, and completed his residency in orthopedics at Erlanger Medical Center.
