Joshua M. Alpert, MD is a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon who joined the Midwest Bone & Joint Institute in 2008 after completing an Orthopedic Surgery fellowship at Harvard’s Sports Medicine Program at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Dr. Alpert’s interests are in treating sports injuries via minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques. He performs arthroscopy of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle.
